Too much heat from everyone. It was obvious he was a blight on the game.

Retired or fired?

"MLB and Hernández had spent the past two weeks negotiating a financial settlement before reaching a resolution over the weekend."

What pisses me off though is it sounds like MLB had to negotiate with him to retire. WTH?

I don't understand how the Umpires Union has so much power that someone who is so bad at their job can't be fired. MLB has to fix that issue. The contract has to be changed. There are other bad umpires out there (IMO none as bad as Angel) so they need to have options to get rid of the piss-poor performers.

Schwarber agrees…

I bet there will be dozens of players send their "well wishes" and a few "gifts" to Angel in his retirement.

He often begged the question…”Is he even watching the game?”

When you have a career as long as his ,
its easy to find mistakes and make an umpire look bad

But with that said ..... Angel Hernandez was an absolutely fucking terrible umpire

Good riddance , HOE

It’s funny how the guys who benefit from the bad call just look the other way and act like they saw nuffin…
