Hot mics captured Yankees coach’s NSFW exchange with umpire Angel Hernandez

This escalated quickly.

Umpire Angel Hernandez seems to have a reputation for some extremely questionable calls, and on Wednesday night, there was another one from the veteran ump on a strike-three call with New York Yankees first baseman at the plate.

Yankees third base coach Phil Nevin was ejected in the loss in the first game of a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies, and reporters overheard Nevin yelling “We all know you don’t want to be here” in the empty Citizens Bank Park.

But once again, we have Jomboy Media breaking down what hot mics on the field picked up, and Nevin had some very NSFW things to say to Hernandez (as I just said, WARNING: NSFW langauge ahead!):

Yow. Lots of f-bombs and s-bombs. But … it wasn’t a strike.

A laughable Angel Hernandez call sparked a heated exchange with the Yankees

Of course.

Whenever a team has Angel Hernandez as the umpire behind home plate, they know that they’re going to be in for a frustrating night. Hernandez, who is widely regarded as the worst umpire in baseball, was back at it again on Wednesday.

This latest incident came in the seventh inning with the Yankees trailing the Phillies by four runs. With Mike Ford facing a full count, Hernandez rung up the Yankees first baseman on a pitch that was well inside.

Ford — justifiably frustrated — had some choice words about the call. But shouting from the dugout resulted in Yankees third base coach Phil Nevin getting ejected. Before heading back to the clubhouse, though, a heated Nevin had a socially distanced exchange with Hernandez.

The call was terrible. Just take another look:

Reporters at the game could hear Nevin tell Hernandez, “We all know you don’t want to be here.”

The strikeout helped Philadelphia get out of the inning, and the Phillies went on to win, 11-7.
