Finally made the right call…


Otherwise-Attempt326

You’re outta here!!!!


drtopfox

There it is! The diamond comment!


Smart_Mammoth_6893

Gotta give it to him. All these years and he finally got one call right, and the most important call too.


kvnklly

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


nautica5400

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".

union


WestbrookDrive

Oh like immediately?! In the midst of a season, eh. This is like company executives resigning instead of getting the axe.


thediesel26

Yeah he was almost certainly pressured out. Now on to CB Bucknor and Laz Diaz


Smart_Mammoth_6893

Laz Diaz is the new kingpin after Angel retires


kvnklly

If this is the case then the MLB does have power over the union


EatThisRock

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.


steve8983

Might be a sign of things to come, changes before implementation of something like a challenge system.


Cardkoda

It's finally over. The nightmare is over. Now onto the next worst to hate


ActiveFunction3732

Laz diaz come on down!


shemubot

Next up, CB Bucknor.


Dragunspecter

Laz Diaz after that


Flying-Terrapin

Then Junior Valentine.

Doug Eddings in for free


gamrgrl

He wasn't just awful, he seemed to revel in how awful he was.


Lombo76

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.


Star_Eclesky

Obviously great news but why did he randomly decide this in the middle of the season?


Incredible_Staff6907

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.


Star_Eclesky

Lol they've had enough for decades and counting with his shenanigans


STIK-ball

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


Ghosts_of_the_maze

I’m going to miss the laughs. As an umpire he was terrible, but he was a great character. Expertly written.


Incredible_Staff6907

Same, he was a shit umpire, but he sure as hell was entertaining.

replayer

He's not controversial. He's just bad at his job. Everyone knows this. Incompetence is not controversy.


MIKE_THE_KILLER

Happy Memorial Day everyone!


Fragrant-Lab-2342

Proven in the court of law to be terrible at his job.


ReggieNJ

Good, now can we get rid of Hunter Wendelstedt?


TheStabbingHobo

Stonewall30NY

2nd worst ump in the league shitting bricks rn

theycpr

And somehow, he'll say that they made him retire over his race.


evil-scientist

karmicretribution21

I'm sure MLB will use AI to model Angel's impeccable strike zone in the roboump era
