The 2022 MLB season is under way and you know things are officially back when baseball fans are rightfully complaining about some awful calls made by umpire Angel Hernandez.
That happened Monday night when the notoriously bad umpire was behind the plate for the Reds-Braves game in Atlanta. Hernandez, who somehow continues to keep his job despite being so bad at it, missed a number of calls last night.
I honestly don’t understand how he’s still allowed behind home plate because look at what he does when he’s behind home plate. These two calls on back-to-back pitches are just incredibly bad:

Those weren’t the only bad calls on his night:
Umpire Angel Hernandez missed 16 calls on the night. Two of them were called balls that should've been strikeouts.
