Is there any doubt that Angel Hernandez...

Just got back from my four mile morning walk on the beach. Beautiful weather along Monterey Bay this morning. Yesterday we shot down to Big Sur for margaritas at Nepenthe's overlooking the ocean, had great Mexican food at the Whole Enchilada and got back to the beach house in time for our two mile evening walk on the beach at sunset. Today, I think we'll lie in the sun for for a bit while I review the FED Football rule and casebooks, then go for a bike ride. Dinner tonight will be just a couple of rib-eyes barbecued on the deck. It's a lazy do-nothing kind of day. I'm really looking forward to retiring down here. I need to run into Chris Schwartz. Anybody seen him around the internet lately?

Oh, yeah, Angel Hernandez. As is no secret, Angel was promoted to the majors over several higher rated AAA umpires. Some felt it was evident that MLB paid more attention to diversity than quality.

He has consistently been rated near the bottom of all ML umpires and has a very poor reputation for game management. Picking up the first base coach's cap and giving it to a fan was bush. One way or another, he'll pay for it.
