Angel Hernandez has been making some pretty good calls lately in the games I've seen him work. He has not sucked.

Angel received enough constructive criticism to improve his A-game.

I don't know if you made this comment "tongue in cheek" or not, but you are correct. MLB evaluators had a "Come to Jesus" meeting with Angel a few years back, and the improvement in effort and concentration was noticeable immediately. Improvement in his performance, predictably, followed.
