THE TRUTH ABOUT AWFUL ANGEL HERNANDEZ!

Oh a name that baseball fans league wide will never forget.... Angel Hernandez. Yeah, you know who I am talking about THAT umpire. The umpire that is one of the most high-profile names but for all the wrong reasons. The umpire that every baseball fan loves to complain about.

Fans and MLB both agree that he is one of the worst umpires both behind the plate and around the bases. MLB knows they have a problem they even admitted it HERE, so they haven't tried to deny it. Facts are hard to ignore.

Another fact that is hard to ignore is the disappearance of Hernandez this season. I don't consider it bad news at all but he hasn't umpired a game since April 3rd. No one misses him, but there does seem to be some disagreement on WHY we haven't seen him.

According to multiple sources, Hernandez is out due to a medical reason. You can read what the New York Post has to say about it HERE but social media has been buzzing about what the medical reason really is. According to the New York Post, sources say Hernandez has a back issue but other sources do not specify a back issue. Who knows if there is more to the story, but I don't think people care about the WHY as long as they don't have to watch him call a game.

Before the medical issue was shared, there was a lot of speculation that Hernandez was so bad that MLB finally cut ties with him. I don't think many baseball fans would be disappointed if that were the case....but they will be disappointed to hear that isn't true. As much as I would like that to be a fact, Hernandez is part of the umpires union and they aren't going to let him be cut without a fight. We'd hear all about it and probably for a very long time.

So as awful as Hernandez is I don't care about the details as to why he is out. I am not interested in a reunion with the guy, especially not umpiring a Yankee game this season either. Maybe we won't have to. A girl can dream I suppose.
