Ángel Hernández to retire

[djefferis]

Adios - but how long until robots take over anyhow ?

Baseball probably has the biggest impact on the games outcome with officiating. Football there is replay and challenges of most crucial calls. Basketball there are questionable fouls/no calls - but you don’t last long as a ref calling that kind of game. Baseball - there are just so many calls - but Angel was world class bad and refused to step aside and the union supported him.

It wasn’t just balls and strikes he sucked at…

I have to think Hernandez was a big reason they implemented replays on the bases.

I think it's still a long way off

Could be the biggest factor on the automated ball-strike system that we know is coming as well.

Sure there are other umpires that suck at the plate but Angel set a new standard and is/was the poster boy for sucking at this job.
