CC Sabathia posted 1 trolling GIF to celebrate Angel Hernandez retiring

CC Sabathia seems happy Angel Hernandez is retiring.

The year was 2018. The New York Yankees were in the playoffs against the Boston Red Sox. Angel Hernandez had a rough game as an umpire, with multiple plays overturned.

Afterwards, Yankees starter CC Sabathia went off on Hernandez, calling the umpire “absolutely terrible” and adding, “it’s amazing how he’s getting jobs umpiring in these playoff games.”

Fastforward to 2024. Hernandez is now a retired umpire, leaving behind a legacy of bad calls, and baseball fans everywhere are celebrating. Turns out … so is Sabathia, or so it seems.

Here’s what Sabathia posted on X (formerly Twitter) after the news dropped on Tuesday night:

And that famous moment in 2018:

CC Sabathia crushed Tony La Russa in a passionate, expletive-ridden rant

CC Sabathia did not hold back AT ALL.

Tony La Russa has been embarrassing himself time and time again this week thanks to his idiotic belief that his player, Yermin Mercedes, did the wrong thing by hitting a home run on a 3-0 pitch late in a blowout win over the Twins.

La Russa apologized to the Twins for the move, which was an embarrassing thing for him to do. Then he later didn’t back Mercedes after the Twins threw at him in the next game, which was also embarrassing thing for him to do and should have cost him his job.

I don’t know how any White Sox players have respect for their manager after all of that.

Former MLB pitcher CC Sabathia took some time on his podcast this week to go off on La Russa, saying he’s out of touch with the game and should be fired and that the Twins should be mad about not being good at baseball.

This rant has a ton of bad words but is 100 percent correct from start to finish:

(Insert 400 clapping emojis right here.)

CC Sabathia looks like a different person after retiring from MLB

He is very jacked.

CC Sabathia finished out a pretty fantastic baseball career in 2019, with 251 career wins and a 3.74 ERA.

And now, the pitcher is making headlines on Tuesday for a very different reason: he’s super-jacked now.

He was listed at 6-foot-6 and 300 pounds during his career, but it would appear he’s lost some weight and added some serious muscle, as social media found out on Tuesday when a photo of Sabathia began circulating, with some wondering if it was photoshopped.

Sabathia’s podcast co-host Ryan Ruocco said it wasn’t re-touched at all, that this is what Sabathia looks like now.

Quite the transformation!
