My friend was so mad about this. It seems like all the league’s officiating is getting worse. Why doesn’t the NBA just declare the San Antonio Spurs the winners of their series with the Golden State Warriors? Why bother playing the games?
A’s are so worried about YESTERDAY’S call, they run out and get thumped by the Tribe again 9-2. Thus ends the sweep.
Go Tribe!
This same umpire screwed up another home run review against the A’s a few nights earlier.
Didn’t see the incident in question, but Angel Hernandez is AWFUL
Somedays the diamond, some days the coal.
Yeah, the A’s got robbed. But who cares? Go Tribe!!!
We Cleveland fans have suffered for waaaay too long to worry about how we get the W’s these days.
Angel Hernandez probably had money on the game.
Angel Hernandez is still a ump? Wow I remember getting upset with his calls when I used to watch baseball with my Mom, and she has been dead for 10 years now.
Years ago I was watching a MLB game when a batter from the home team hit a long fly ball—the outfielder from the visiting team caught the ball by leaning over the railing into the stands, but before he could pull his arm back and show that he had caught the ball, a fan snatched the ball from his glove, thereby causing the home team batter to be credited with a home run. None of the umpires saw what was happening although the TV viewers could see it.
Tim McClelland is up there too. He’s the ump that takes a year and day making ball and strike calls and then gets arrogant when called on it. He was also the ump that tried to take away George Brett’s homer because of the pine tar on his bat. He’s been around a while too and he’s dreadful.
The old cry that umps are “blind” can now refer to not seeing the obvious on TV replays!

Undocumented run?
Same thing happened to the Pirates earlier this year against the Braves, on a ball hit by Travis Snider, but they followed it up with 2 more hits so it was a moot point.
