Hernandez is one of the biggest and most recognizable umpires around MLB. That's not a good thing. If fans notice an umpire, it's usually because that umpire either made crucial mistakes during a game, or got into it with a player before ejecting them. Now that Joe West retired, Hernandez is the most criticized umpire in the game.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber screamed at umpire Angel Hernandez following a missed strike three call during Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. It sounds like Schwarber — and, well, the rest of the Phillies — was the only one upset about Hernandez's performance.

MLB reportedly gave Hernandez a 96% grade following Sunday's game. That information comes courtesy of former umpire — and every baseball fan's worst enemy — Joe West. Following Sunday's game, West called Hernandez, who said MLB gave him a 96 percent grade during the game, according to 670 The Score in Chicago.

Everyone has probably already seen it but here is the game in question.

The publicly available grading system did not agree with that assessment. It gave Hernandez an 88 percent rating. The league average for the publicly available system is 94 percent.

According to Umpire Auditor

Umpire Angel Hernandez was the lowest rated umpire on the day, missing 19 calls for a correct percentage of 85.3%.

He rang up 6 batters on pitches that were outside the zone and called a strike to Jean Segura that missed inside by a season high 6.47 inches

Should we believe MLB's game score for Angel Hernandez?

The information about Hernandez's grade is being relayed to fans through many filters. Hernandez told West that grade came from MLB. West then relayed the figure he heard while making a radio appearance. It creates a weird game of telephone, opening up the possibility that wires got crossed somewhere.

In addition to that, we have no context for what a 96 percent grade looks like in MLB's system. MLB may have a completely different way of grading umpires. Perhaps the average in MLB's system is 99%? That information isn't public.

Merging with conspiracy theory thread.

Hernandez is awful. Like really bad. I get that the union protects him, but like Jomboy said, why is he allowed behind the plate? Keep him out of important games and away from home plate and he can't mess up nearly as much.

C.B. Bucknor is offended he hasn't been mentioned.

He’s consistently the worst one. I think more than Angel.

In any order you want; they are probably the ones that I notice poor calls from the most. (especially strikezone)
