Phillies Fan Confronts Angel Hernandez After Horrible Umpiring Performance
Angel Hernandez was terrible behind the plate on national television Sunday night. He had one of the worst umpiring performances of the season on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball as the Brewers beat the Phillies 1-0. Everyone was ticked off and letting Hernandez know about it, even Phillies fans.
No one is imagining things here, the numbers say Hernandez was brutal. Kyle Schwarber eventually got thrown out for arguing what was clearly a terrible call, but Hernandez was hearing about it from players on both teams all night.
Umpire Angel Hernandez was the lowest rated umpire on the day, missing 19 calls for a correct percentage of 85.3%.

He rang up 6 batters on pitches that were outside the zone and called a strike to Jean Segura that missed inside by a season high 6.47 inches.#Brewers #Phillies pic.twitter.com/pmmt1ELJJ6
Somehow MLB still employs that guy as an umpire.
No one was happy with his performance. And after the game, one Phillies fan waited around to confront Hernandez as he drove away from the ballpark.

Hernandez is clearly smiling in his car. It's pretty obvious he enjoyed the attention. If only he enjoyed being good at his job that much.
