Angel Hernandez can’t escape his call after a terrible MLB The Show call

In real life, Hernandez went back to his old tricks on Saturday in a matchup between the Cincinnati Reds and the Milwaukee Brewers, with his name trending on Twitter thanks to a strike zone larger than it should have been within the first innings of the contest.

In the ninth inning of that game, with Hernandez behind the plate, Philadelphia’s Kyle Schwarber was called out for strikes on then-brewer seamer Josh Hader. Immediately after Hernandez’s Strike 3 call, it wasn’t long before Schwarber was available one of the most memorable and vivid explanations how bad Hernandez’s striking zone is often, even at the most important times of the game.

The Phillies would lose that game 1-0, by the way.

At that game in Philadelphia Hernandez was accurate 88 percent of the time Calling balls and strikes. The MLB average is 94 percent, which shows how bad Hernandez was and why Schwarber was certainly right about his outburst.
