Cuthbert called out on strikes and the pitch was so far off of the plate that it went right over the inside stripe of the batter's box. Hernandez is a turd bucket.
“I need to say this,” Sabathia told reporters at Yankee Stadium after New York’s 4-3 loss to the Red Sox in Game 4. “I don’t think Angel Hernandez should be umping playoff games. He’s absolutely terrible. He was terrible behind the plate today. He was terrible at first base. It’s amazing how he’s getting a job umpiring in these playoff games.”
Later, when asked if Hernandez had been inconsistent Tuesday night, Sabathia added, “Always. He’s bad. I don’t understand why he’s doing these games.”
CB Bucknor sucks too. I will never bet a game that either of these gimps have the dish because I will stroke out with their horrible inconsistencies.
I always thought Bucknor was the worst, but it could very well be Angel. I forget when it was, but Bucknor had a famous missed call where he called a foul ball and the batter clearly just whiffed. Unbelievable. I forget who the umpire was last night in the Marlins/Pirates game, but he called a pitch that was literally right down the middle a ball. I just sat there with my jaw on the floor.
That's why I love SBR. I clearly think that collectively we have better insight on these guys in blue then the bigshots making the decision in the MLB.
