VIDEO: A's Broadcaster Ray Fosse Rips Angel Hernandez After Terrible Called Strike vs Mariners
By Jerry Trotta
We don't have to tell you that Angel Hernandez is one of MLB's most renowned umpires. And in case you were wondering, yes, it's because his strike zone is utterly pitiful. Well, Hernandez was behind the plate for Thursday's Mariners-Athletics clash and he was back to doing what he does best-- or worst? Checkout the 58-year-old ump call a strike on Jurickson Profar that was well off the outside corner of the zone and get absolutely roasted by Oakland broadcaster Ray Fosse.
"Angel Hernandez one of the best ball/strike umpires in all of baseball" --Ray Fosse

Fosse couldn't hold back his laughter after saying Hernandez was "one of the best ball-strike umpires in all of baseball."
Leave it to Hernandez to be absolutely bamboozled by a proper frame job behind the plate. And don't think for a second that Angel was giving Felix Hernandez the benefit of the doubt in his final game in a Mariner uniform and T-Mobile Park.
He's THAT egregious and just continues to baffle us with his incompetence.
