Umpire Ángel Hernández lost his lawsuit against Major League Baseball alleging racial discrimination. The Cuba-born Hernández sued in 2017 in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati, a case later moved to New York. Hired as a big league umpire in 1993, he alleged he was discriminated against because he had not been assigned to the World Series since 2005 and had been passed over for crew chief.

Manager Terry Francona emerged from Cleveland’s dugout in the third inning of Tuesday’s game against the Royals and sought answers from umpire Angel Hernandez.
The Royals had runners on second and third base with one out when Royals catcher Salvador Perez hit a fly ball to deep right-center field. The ball landed on the warning track between two Cleveland outfielders.
Hernandez, the first-base umpire, didn’t see what happened ... so he guessed and slightly raised his fist to signal an out. The umpiring crew later corrected the call to give Perez a single, but depending on your point of view, the play cost the Royals a run or Cleveland an out.
“I just kind of told Angel, ‘Why’s it always happening when you’re here?’” Francona told reporters after the game.
If it seems like you’ve notice Hernandez is in the middle of controversial calls more often than other umps, you’re not alone. A U.S. District Judge even noted Hernandez’s long list of errors.
Hernandez, who was born in Cuba, sued Major League Baseball in 2017, alleging race discrimination. The suit noted Hernandez had not been given a World Series assignment since 2005.
On March 31, the suit was dismissed. U.S. District Judge J. Paul Oetken said Hernandez had, per the Associated Press, “cited generally positive Field Evaluation Forms” in making his case for being discriminated against by MLB Chief Baseball Officer Joe Torre.
“Hernandez’s handful of cherry-picked examples does not reliably establish any systematic effort on MLB’s part to artificially deflate Hernandez’s evaluations, much less an effort to do so in order to cover up discrimination,” Oetken wrote, the Associated Press reported. “The evidence shows beyond genuine dispute that an umpire’s leadership and situation management carried the day in MLB’s promotion decisions.”
Oekten continued: “The explicit reason MLB offers — that according to Torre, Hernandez ‘has not demonstrated the leadership ability and situation-management skills in critical high-pressure roles on a consistent basis’ — is presented in clear and specific terms.”

He’s an over MACHINE. Very rarely do games go under the total when he’s behind home plate.Comment -
This is the exact reason why MLB stinks
They are the only professional sports League which allows their umpires/officials to run rampant and make up their own rules from game to gameComment
