The Hernandez assignment does make you wonder how in the world this selection process is based on merit. If this is the best six-man crew they could come up with, something's not right.
And bear in mind, Angel doesn't have to be behind the plate to have a negative effect on a game. Questionable and objectionable calls can be made on the bases... and the foul lines too. Anyone remember Game one ALCS two years ago? Red Sox and Yankees. HR ball at the right field foul pole? Hernandez was the RF umpire and was overruled by McClelland from home plate.
