That college ump has been suspended by his conference for what was clearly his attempt at punishing the batter for bitching about strike two.

Angel Hernandez is a legend, but I suspect that, if you ank the players, he wouldn't come out on the bottom for them. Angel blows a call, and the players' attitudes seem to be, "That's just Angel being Angel." But when C.B. Bucknor or Brian O'Nora blow a call, players seem to take it more personally, and their attitude seems more like "I'm gonna kill this guy."

The Southland Conference has suspended the umpire in question indefinitely.
