Here's my best guess on the sitch with balls and strikes, and I admit, this is mostly speculation, but the basis for that speculation is that I've spent the last six and a half years as a UAW shop steward, and I've read a ton of arbitration decisions, learned a whole lot about CBA provisions, bargaining, etc. First, 100% not the union's fault. The CBA exists, both parties agreed to it, the union and the MLB have an obligation to adhere to and enforce the terms of that agreement unless they want to bargain more (which isn't really obligatory under the NLRA, but they could choose to.) I suspect that one of the provisions of the MLBUA CBA is that, for the life of this agreement (everyone knows that roboumps are coming to the bigs in some form, even if it is only a challenge system) it remains the sole discretions of the behind-the-plate umpire whether or not a pitch is a ball or a strike. Those calls are non-reviewable expressly, if not entirely for that reason. So, when the league has a problem with how an ump calls pitches, how do they establish that within the language of the contract? If only the ump can call a pitch a strike, then any called strike, no matter whether or not it is inside the strike zone established by StatCast, is by definition, under the contract, a strike. There simply wouldn't be any basis to discipline an umpire for calls the league feels are incorrect. Imagine there is a trial (in reality it would be an arbitration, but many people don't understand the difference, and it doesn't matter so much here) to determine whether or not Umpire X is good at calling balls and strikes. If the CBA gives the BTP umpire the sole discretion to determine what is a strike, then what basis do you have to overrule him? You've got literally nothing. Contractually, the MLB would have literally no means by which to challenge the pitch calling. I think that's what's going on. So, next time they negotiate, they'll have to give something up to change that; it's possible, though, that the MLB doesn't actually care that much. IF you want to know for sure, you need the CBA, otherwise, I think this is a plausible explanation.

I've worked in 2 other big unions in my time on this planet and I hate to break it to you, but A LOT Of unions operate just like this. Teamsters encourages it's people to do less and be less. They give their people back their jobs after they break major OSHA rules (like walking on a moving conveyor belt). I remember being told to "do less work, because you're making others look bad" and I wasn't even working to my potential. Most of the bigger unions now are cash cows where the leaders live JUST like the ceo's of the companies they work against, and they know without their people paying their dues, they are nothing. It's in their best interest to keep people in spots, paying their dues. Most of the unions are as corrupt as the companies they work against. Only ones I even remotely think do their jobs to protect people are certain trade unions. I've stopped watching baseball because of guys like Hernandez. Ruining the game for me.

Why do we need to introduce technology to fix the umpire problem? Why doesn’t MLB just FIRE Angel Hernandez and any other umpire who performs poorly at their job? It’s called accountability. Until MLB holds umpires to the same level of accountability that they do with the players and coaches, you will continue to see the umpires get worse. Technology is not the solution. Holding umpires accountable for their performance is the solution. You Suspend them and fire them, watch how much better umpires become at their jobs

Not sure how nobody is getting this... The MLB intentionally keeps Angel Hernandez (and others) around to set the lowest bar possible for umpiring errors. That way, when it's time for other competent umps to rig a game, those rare errors in critical moments seem like outliers, by comparison. Angel Hernandez, et al. are actually employed to call games horribly and make regular errors. This skews the perception of umpire error rate to cover the critical calls in rigged games. Just like the NFL, "incompentency" is part of the smokescreen. MLB games are being rigged and this is NOT an "umpire union" issue. This is why you're all confused how and why these horrible umpires can remain employed in a multi-billion dollar international industry. If you think about it, it's the *only* thing that makes sense.

The only reason that the other umpires like Angel is the same reason mediocre workers like the one crappy worker in the office. As long as they aren't the worst, they never can be held accountable for their actions because there is someone who is worse at their job still at the company getting away with murder.

They will never get rid of him. The ONLY reason they keep his is for the controversy. A lot of people will watch MLB just to see how bad he will be today. Baseball is not my favorite sport, but I will not watch anymore till he is gone. And he's not the only one who needs to go either.

It won't be a problem once they have the automatic strike system in the majors

If you want to get rid of Angel, you need to get rid of the rest of the umps who joined the majors in the 90s. Compare their calls to that of umps in the 90s and you can see they are stuck in that decade.

Angel does his fine job of calling pitches wrong. He does it for attention, good or bad. Sick man.

Give us a robo strike zone. Balls and strikes should not be subjective.

Yeah there has to be a line on that bad umpiring just like there should be a line for all these reporters making bad reports like the Ohtani being in Toronto, remember? Just because you want to be first.

Like it or not, as long as there is an umpire’s union, Angel Hernandez will have a job.

Other umps love him because he attracts all the heat, no one is talking about them when Angel is this bad. Angel is job security.

Angel actually takes heat off the rest of the umpires because all of the attention is focused on him.

Angel makes mistakes, no doubt about that. The first pitch out of the three straight was close, it broke away from the zone, it could be a called strike and not a big deal. The second and third pitches, the catcher moved his glove massively back into the strike zone, which is probably what fooled Angel. Catchers moving their glove six inches quickly in a different direction after catching a ball, that is a problem that people aren't talking about, regulate that effectively(automatic balls, fines, ejections and ultimately suspensions, which make sense as it is interfering with the integrity of the game), and you fix 90% of bad ball-strike calls
