Look at the shit-eating grin on Angel Hernandez’s face while being told he’s not liked in Philadelphia:

That’s a guy who knows he’s going to be the talk of ESPN and every person in Philadelphia for the next 24 hours and loves it. Remember when he sued the MLB for racial discrimination because he hadn’t umped a World Series since 2005? Dude the reason why you haven’t gotten a World Series in 16 years is because you suck at your job. All the judge had to do was watch just one of the baseball games you umped since 1993 to throw out the suit. The same guy that missed 19 calls last night thought he had a case against the MLB. That’s Ben Simmons levels of ineptitude:

This is why you won’t get an argument from me about replacing umps with robots. One or two close ones I can live with, but NINETEEN? With one of them being 6.5 inches inside to Jean Segura in a tight spot after Schwarber hit a leadoff double. Call in the drones.

Unless the MLB wants to grow the game by making it more entertaining with one rule –


I propose a player should get to fight an umpire once a year. Nothing dirty. Just a good ol’ fashioned dust up we settle like men on the diamond. Once they fall to the grass like in hockey we break it up. You can’t tell me Schwarber doesn’t go wham bam thank you ma’am upside Angel’s head and he’s done squeezing the Phillies whenever he’s behind the dish. It works in the Dominican League:
