VIDEO: Angel Hernandez Botches Check Swing and Gets Orioles Bench to Yell NSFW Insults at Him in 1st
By Adam Weinrib
One batter, one blown call in Yankees-Orioles for Angel Hernandez! Of course, it only makes sense, right? After all, there are balls and strikes to be calle--I'm sorry, what? Hernandez was at first base, and he managed to inject himself into the game action before anyone reached? Got it. Not stunning. On a 3-2 pitch, DJ LeMahieu chased a high fastball and sent himself back to the dugout...before Hernandez welcomed him to first base, a place he didn't belong. Thanks again, sir (and thanks, Jomboy, for the capture)!

How's that lawsuit going, Mr. Hernandez? Need to block any more evidence to the contrary? Because this video might interest you.
As is always the case when Hernandez is on the scene these days, the world was well aware of his attendance. The Orioles didn't even let him make it through a pop out without being savaged! Listen closely.
Orioles bench still not happy with Angel Hernandez. Can hear them yelling "get the fuck out of the man's way" pic.twitter.com/6ygpoMhiIt

This guy can't get out of his own way, or Renato Nuñez's.
How much more of this do we have to deal with?
The Orioles made it out of the inning unscathed, so no harm, no foul...for now.
