<p>Angel Hernandez <strong>is back at it again</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>MLB’s oft-ridiculed umpire made another egregious strike call on Monday night, incorrectly punching out the Giants’ Buster Posey on a breaking ball that missed the outside corner by more than four inches.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Umpire Angel Hernandez rang up Buster Posey on a pitch that missed outside by 4.31 inches.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Giants?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Giants</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Dodgers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Dodgers</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BusterPosey?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BusterPosey</a> <strong>pic.twitter.com/ITkFDLV9R6</strong></p>&mdash; Umpire Auditor (@UmpireAuditor) <a href="https://twitter.com/UmpireAuditor/status/1409719082623156225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 29, 2021</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>Posey, expecting the count to be at 2-2, thrust his arms up in disbelief when Hernandez ruled the pitch a strike.&nbsp;</p>



<p>“Well, in the course of an at-bat, the outside corner will get established by Angel Hernandez,” Giants TV analyst Mike Krukow said during the broadcast, according to <strong>NBC Sports Bay Area</strong>. “Okay, then you’re saying, ‘Okay, that’s where it’s at.’ And then all of a sudden, he’ll expand the zone. And here, he expands it by about six inches and it winds up costing Posey an at-bat.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Quipped Dodgers TV commentator Joe Davis: “Angel Hernandez goes a foot off the plate to ring up Posey.”</p>



<p>Missed calls are nothing new for Hernandez. Earlier this season, <strong>Hernandez was responsible for the worst called game</strong> of the MLB season, incorrectly calling a grand total of 24 balls and strikes for a correct call percentage of just 83.2%.&nbsp;</p>







<p>In May, while umpiring a game between the Royals and Indians, <strong>Hernandez admitted to guessing on a call</strong> when he was allegedly “blinded by the outfield scoreboard.”</p>
