Me my reaction of this video:
WHAT that's a horrible call.
Oh it's Angel Hernandez, of course

[gmaster]

"Disposes of the lumber" fucking love it

[hughjorgen]

He's the 2nd best umpire in MLB. All the others are tied for 1st.

[billkarim]

Bad call, bad umpire. The second you let him know about it, he ejects you. He is Angel Hernandez. And he is the worst umpire to ever call a Major League game.

[Telanis]

A quick fuse?  He's YELLING at the ump.  Even though Angel hasn't been a great umpire, I don't think ANY umpire in the league would accept that kind of behavior.

[davidjorgensen]

Better a bat Recker than a home Recker, I always say.

[johnvandeventer]

It would have been better if they showed the strike zone just to see how bad the call was

[Doompro]

He should have broken the bat over Angel's head... Would have done MLB a favor.

[zachl]

Not surprised it was Angel Hernandez. It's not as ridiculous as the ejection of Kinsler, three seasons later.

"You need to re-evaluate your life, man. Just go home right now. Get out of the game. Just leave the game alone. Please. Candidly, leave this game. No one wants you behind the plate anymore. No one in this game wants you behind the plate anymore, none of the players."

"He's changing the game. He needs to find another job. He really does. He just needs to go away."

-Ian Kinsler

[ksn]

i guess you could say he really recked, that bat

[juanblue]

Angel Hernandez should belong in the MLB Hall of "Shame".

[JulieRWhite]

Well he is even hotter when he breaks the bat....

[johnvandeventer]

The rule is, you can't argue calls like that

[Aqwtiny]

0:50 if you look closely you can look at degroms beautiful hair

[rubencanales]

I think angel was bullied as kid or he was never chosen to play on a team, cause it seems has something against ballplayers

[robloxcoasters]

Welcome to the world of Angel Hernandez.

[CountyManPatrick]

Yankees fan here: not a trike. I like the Mets, even though I'm a Yankees fan.

[Tht_guy_]

Hehe
"A very strong man"
More like a very crafty and so far not yet caught man

[dmhustler]

Well, his name is Recker for a reason.. RIP bat

[mr]

Recker gets thrown out and then breaks a bat. Report to the locker room for your punishment sir.
