    Is Angel Hernandez legally blind?

    Is this guy for real with these calls?

    At least replay can fix them.

    If he was behind the plate there would be 7 ejections by now.

    He will be behind home plate for game 4. It's a crime that he's on the field at all.

    Yup, he is the worst. Didn't he bring a case against MLB complaining he was being treated with bias, as he was overlooked for years from doing playoff games???

    He's made bad calls his entire career. Then he sued the MLB for discrimination.

    Bigger question is why does he still have a job with the MLB

    I'm actually shocked that the MLB hasn't caved into liberalism and started hiring women behind the plate umpiring yet.. Only a matter of time..

    Who cares if the umpire is male or female as long as they get the calls right.

    I think he may be 2nd worst. CB Bucknor is at the top of my list. Angel is absolutely awful though.

    LOL

    I remember when he ejected Steve Mcmichael from the announcer booth at Wrigley Field

    What he sees out there at times is mind boggling

    It's like who cares if the announcer calling the game is male or female as long as she has a man voice.. Man sports should keep it a man game in all aspects on the field and in the booth me tinks mon..

    Chicks should stay cheer leaders, not become refs, announcers and umps in men sports.. Just my opinion.. Takes something away from the history of the game and what we are all use to seeing and hearing over the years...

    Don't get me wrong love seeing the cheerleaders.. Nothing wrong with that.. Glad we don't have men cheerleaders in tights cheer leading, no place for that on the field either.. ..

    What's ironic to me is all the women in the world, well USA, complaining about be mis-treated as a species. LOL. I mean they claim they can't get jobs unless they are good looking, and then they say it's not the reporters looks, it's what they report. Well, I don't see too many ugly reporters, and they try to be good looking, they aren't told to be. Do you see any 330# cheerleaders in the NFL ???? Ever been to Hooters??? Strip clubs with 300# women trying to swing a pole????
    But, in the same regard, I have no doubt there will be female umpires, and ref's in the NBA (already have one). But the NFL & NHL, too rough for them, I think. Pretty sure Belichick has a female on his staff, and the Jets do to, I have no problem with that at all. Just stop complaining we (men) are mis-treating or being unfair. You want one of those jobs, spend years working for it like the guys do.

    Throw in Laz Diaz and you have a the trifecta of umpires that should even set foot on an MLB field. Just terrible.

    The funny thing is that he's suing MLB for discrimination. The guy has always been terrible at his job.

    All 3 of his missed calls at 1st were fractions of a second difference between the ball getting their and the runner touching. Full speed and he’s supposed to determine which event happened 0.2 seconds before the other? Seems unreasonable, just bad luck he had three plays that were so close, all 50/50. Some were even hard to tell on replay

    The biggest benefactors of affirmative action in the United States is white women. White America loves to talk about Affirmative action when a minority is involved not realizing it's their mother, sister, and daughter who benefits the most.

    You’re correct, by far the biggest benefactor of affirmative action is white women. Sadly, white women are also its fircest opponents. It gors along the same lines of women voting for Republicans, a party that has consistently taken away their rights and made decisions on their behalf with nothing but a bunch of men sitting in a room. Its amazing any woman could ever vote republican
