Bases loaded, Hernandez calls a close ball 4 which walks in a run. Hernandez takes his mask off and stares down the pitcher, Happ. He's essentially challenging Happ to argue the call, an automatic ejection. This is highly unusual and Martin's expression here reflects that.
More with Hernandez.
Detroit Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler unloaded a series of grievances against veteran umpire Angel Hernandez on Tuesday, one day after Hernandez ejected him for arguing balls and strikes.
Speaking to reporters, Kinsler said that Hernandez, who has been a major league umpire since 1993, "needs to re-evaluate his career choice" because he's "messing with baseball games."
"I'm surprised at how bad an umpire he is," Kinsler said, according to the Detroit News. "I don't know how, for as many years he's been in the league, that he can be that bad. He needs to re-evaluate his career choice, he really does. Bottom line.
"If I get fined for saying the truth, then so be it. He's messing with baseball games, blatantly."
