It's like we live in bizarre world. The jokes write themselves.

She's probably Jewish

Baseball is really getting desperate. 

[Strike 5,745]

Honestly, why don't they just have midgets at home plate so they don't have to bend.over to call balls and strikes?  Would probably be more accurate.

Ok, so she missed some balls and strikes. She didn’t fly a helicopter into a plane.

Is that the standard we have now for women?  Someone didn't die? 

[Drizzay 727]

What's next, female refs in basketball and female lines judges in football?!?!

 

Next, you are going to tell me they can vote and drive a car!

You kid, but all the above would be better without women.

I read 91% which is very bad for an ump

I'm not exactly sure what her rating was but she was brutal from the little bit that I watched. 

[The Real timschochet 7,040]

So you’re telling me that the bigots and anti-semites around here are misogynists too? Go figure. 

[HellToupee 1,914]

This went about as expected 

1st pitch

1st strikeout call

Angel Hernandez is

To be fair, society has always had lower standards for women than men... women (opportunist leftists who need to create victims where there aren't any, so that they can be preyed upon), just want to ignore that and blame men for it.

[TBayXXXVII 2,593]

So, just watched the link from the OP, her eyes tell me that she knew she focked up and was slightly in shock to the realization that people were watching specifically with eyes on here and the first pitch, she got colossally wrong.

That said, I didn't watch the game, because I don't care about a random Braves/Marlins game... female umpire or not.  If I were a gambling man, I'd be willing to bet that she was right about 98% of the time, just like the men.

It's funny on just how bad that call was, but it's not even a big deal.  It's even funnier that they saved it.  If I were her... I want nothing to do with THAT ball, but I'd take the last ball of the game.  Probably a much better memento.

[TBayXXXVII 2,593]

Gaslighting articles like this, do more harm than good.

I just now read that her accuracy rating ranked 89th out 92 (first game scores), this year.  People watched first hand that she was bad (kind of proving my guess from my prior post just minutes ago, wrong - I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt).  I mean, just come out and say something like "First day jitters possibly got to her, just like so many other people in every walk of life.  I think she'll be fine, just like other umpires who had rough first games but had long quality careers".  I mean, why can't you write that?

This article was mostly player and coach opinions.  Really?  Everyone knows they're not going to tell the truth.  Look at that first pitch, you see the smirk Wentz gave when looking towards the outfield.  He's quoted in the article as saying:

“I try not to focus on the zone, to be honest with you. ... I thought it was good though.”

LOL, GTFOH, EVERY pitchers ALWAYS focuses on the strike zone... 100% of the time.  They do it because they want strike calls.  If they know that they can be an inch of the plate outside and get a strike call, they're going to paint that spot all focking night.

 

Also in the article:

"McCullough was seen in the Marlins dugout with his palms held up as if asking about the pitch call. He said after the game it’s not unusual to question a close called strike."

Yeah, uh, there was nothing "close" about that pitch.

 

Simply, write a fair article without getting player and coaches opinions and call it a day.  She could've also done herself a favor and say "Looking back, I made more bad calls than I'd like, but I have done better in the past and I will do better in the future.  Sorry players [give a chuckle], it was game 1."  It's not like every player in MLB had a great debut.  They'll understand.

I don’t see why a broad can’t screw this up more than a bunch of dudes. Good for her.

Does baseball even need umpires anymore? Don't we have lasers and robots that can call a foolproof game?
