VIDEO: Angel Hernandez's Sickening Missed Strike Call Started Blue Jays Rally Against Yankees
By Seth Carlson
Angel Hernandez is not an angel among his MLB colleagues. Known for his egregious actions on the field and his suit against baseball for discrimination after not receiving a postseason umpiring assignment, he's got a ledger of antics on his resume. He added to it on Tuesday night with another blasphemous call in the Blue Jays-Yankees game.
And guess what? Randal Grichuk ended up homering in that at-bat against Masahiro Tanaka to begin a four-run inning, which erased the Yankees' two run lead.
Hernandez might truly be awful. The pitch from Tanaka was literally the definition of a strike. Expect to hear more complaints from yet another fanbase regarding Hernandez's terrible umpiring.
