Umpires.

Specifically Angel Hernandez.

He lost his discrimination lawsuit against MLB.

Hernández claimed Chief Baseball Officer Joe Torre had animus toward him dating to 2001 and that Torre bypassed Hernández for crew chief and World Series assignments. Hernández cited generally positive Field Evaluation Forms he had received.


I want to know who gave Hernandez those generally positive field evaluations.


“The explicit reason MLB offers — that according to Torre, Hernández 'has not demonstrated the leadership ability and situation-management skills in critical high-pressure roles on a consistent basis' — is presented in clear and specific terms,” the judge said.

He got that right.
