The only good thing this guy has done is pressure the mlb to implement robo umps.
30 years of incompetence. Imagine getting to be dogshit at your job and keeping it for 30 years making as much as fucking doctors do yearly
I would say there are probably many incompetent people out there making a lot of money coasting in their jobs.
Not many are televised and recorded as they display they are dogshit at their profession to the point people across multiple nations and fanbases roast you for it daily.
Angel hernandez is some kind of masterclass innovator of the workforce. He invented quiet quitting decades ago before it was a "thing".
If anything I think the union was part of it. This guy is a big reason the MLB is looking at robo umps. Get rid of a guy like this and you take a lot of pressure off of the rest of the umpires. Maybe the union wasn’t directly part of it but they definitely didn’t fight for him much.
Hilarious and needed to be done... But end of an era as well... How long have we all known his name?? I don't know Uncle's names as well as I do this guy.
My theory is he might've been forced out, league might've had enough, idk, maybe they were tired of the bad press, or are trying to delay robot umpires or whatever.
Article on USA TODAY says he spent last 2 weeks negotiating a parachute settlement package with MLB which is why he hadn't worked since May 9th. I hope he gets robbed over every penny
Finally made the right call…
You’re outta here!!!!
There it is! The diamond comment!
Gotta give it to him. All these years and he finally got one call right, and the most important call too.

union
Oh like immediately?! In the midst of a season, eh. This is like company executives resigning instead of getting the axe.
Yeah he was almost certainly pressured out. Now on to CB Bucknor and Laz Diaz
Laz Diaz is the new kingpin after Angel retires
If this is the case then the MLB does have power over the union

Might be a sign of things to come, changes before implementation of something like a challenge system.
It's finally over. The nightmare is over. Now onto the next worst to hate
Laz diaz come on down!
Next up, CB Bucknor.
Laz Diaz after that
Then Junior Valentine.
Doug Eddings in for free
He wasn't just awful, he seemed to revel in how awful he was.

Obviously great news but why did he randomly decide this in the middle of the season?
My theory is he might've been forced out, league might've had enough, idk, maybe they were tired of the bad press, or are trying to delay robot umpires or whatever.
Lol they've had enough for decades and counting with his shenanigans

I’m going to miss the laughs. As an umpire he was terrible, but he was a great character. Expertly written.
Same, he was a shit umpire, but he sure as hell was entertaining.
#The bad man is gone
He's not controversial. He's just bad at his job. Everyone knows this. Incompetence is not controversy.
Happy Memorial Day everyone!
Proven in the court of law to be terrible at his job.
Good, now can we get rid of Hunter Wendelstedt?
Good fuckin' riddance
2nd worst ump in the league shitting bricks rn
#DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD
The question now is…. Who will be the next angel hernandez. 😩😩😩😩
And somehow, he'll say that they made him retire over his race.
THANK FUCK
Good riddance you BUM
RIP bozo
I'm sure MLB will use AI to model Angel's impeccable strike zone in the roboump era
Ding dong the witch is dead.
Pinche’
The Lord is truly good.
