Indeed - I mean, who's going to pay good money to watch the Mutts play the Philthies?... :lol: If only there was a game where both teams could lose... ;)
I would have gone but none of you sent me the money.

Does seem like he was forced out.

I'm sure MLB sent him some sort of unambiguous message of positive reinforcement, but he thought it was his 3rd strike.

And that leaves Hunter Wendelstedt and C. B. Bucknor in a two-way race for worst umpire in MLB. (I still despise Wendelstedt after all these years - that game where he tossed a rookie John Lannan and milquetoast Manny Acta is a core memory of my early Nats fandom.)

Any umpire you can name should be fired.

he's actually been doing that the past couple of years on the side. that's why he only umped about 10 games last year.

Auditions to replace Hernandez as worst umpire in baseball are underway:

Quote
@UmpireAuditor

Umpire Brian Walsh called the worst game this season, missing 24 calls for a correct call rate of only 83.4%.

This was the lowest rated game since April 22, 2022.

Walsh is now ranked 84th of 86 umpires this season.

I think Brian Walsh is going to need a nickname to become the focus of ire. Blind Brian Walsh?
