Angel strikes again

It must be umpires who's first name is Angel who always seem to stick it to my teams. Angel Campos's incompetency has been well documented. However, he may not be the worst umpire named Angel.

Angel Hernandez single handedly gave the Marlins the league championship over the Braves in 1998 with his ridiculous strike zone that since become comedy fodder. He also had his calls overturned 3 times in the 2018 world series. Yet, the clown continued to umpire...

You are misremembering that game. It was fat Eric Gregg who gave the Marlins a foot on either side of the plate while simultaneously squeezing the Braves pitchers.

Unfortunately that game is burned in my memory and YouTube has tons of quick video compilations of his terrible calls in that game.

Yes, it was Gregg. I used to kind of enjoy him but he put it to the Braves that game. He wound up getting canned himself trying to stir umps to walk out that wasn’t sanctioned by their union I believe. Definitely canned. Long overdue though.

I knew that name was familiar. New Rule: Clemson refuses to play in a game where an Angel is umpiring.

Hernandez was fired the same year as Campos. They may have even been on the same MLB Crew.
