Angel Hernandez isn’t exactly the most popular umpire in Major League Baseball, and now we can add Ian Kinsler to his long list of critics.
A day after Hernandez ejected him from a 6-2 loss to the Rangers for arguing balls and strikes, the Tigers second baseman put Hernandez on blast and called on him to re-evaluate his career, per The Detroit News’ Chris McCosky.
Kinsler was asked if he was surprised how quickly he was ejected: "No, I'm surprised at how bad of an umpire he is." Angel Hernandez

Kinsler on Angel Hernandez: "He needs to re-evaluate his career choice. He really does."

Kinsler is far from the first player to call out Hernandez for his ineptitude, and it is hardly a surprising development with player-umpire relations seemingly at an all-time low point this season.
