We’ve been over this, like, a thousand times.
Every time Angel Hernandez is the home plate umpire for a Major League Baseball game, he gets roasted on Twitter — or announcers or managers — by fans for awful calls.
Well guess what happened Tuesday night? He was behind the plate for the Los Angeles Dodgers’ eventual loss to the Cincinnati Reds, so everyone took to Twitter to roast his calls. And it appeared Dodgers infielder Justin Turner was NOT pleased with a third strike that also appeared to be off the plate (see below):
There also was this miss with a strike that appeared to be outside to Mookie Betts:
