Angel Hernandez Archives - Awful Announcing

Kevin Millar wants computerized strike zones removed from TV broadcasts

"It's kind of like going to watch the Cowboys' game, and you end up just staring at the big screen the whole game."

"You just had this echo chamber of Ángel Hernández awfulness that...wound up being part of his undoing."

"I thought Ángel retired."

If there’s one thing many baseball broadcasters, other media members, and fans can agree on, it’s criticizing particularly-infamous...

"I’ve never seen more reaction to an umpire calling it quits than the announcement that Ángel Hernández was retiring from umpiring."

"Ángel, are you drunk? Are you drunk? Tell me you're drunk."

"Whether you want to believe it or not, he was good at [umpiring]."

"Are we sure this is good for baseball?"

"Not beating up on umps, but this needs fixed."

After another string of umpiring controversies, Ken Rosenthal questioned how MLB could possibly ignore Angel Hernandez any longer.

Jeff Passan suggests adopting automated strike zones and challenge system to address umpire inconsistencies, like those by Ángel Hernández.

"You have got to be kidding me! What in the world?

"There's no way he can call that a swing. Unbelievable."

"Goodness gracious! That is just terrible!"

"I don't usually like talking about the umpires, but Ángel flat-out missed that."

Literally, with a horrendous call by Angel Hernandez yet again."
