Another bad call by Angel Hernandez.
Over the weekend the Philadelphia Phillies were down 1-0 to the Milwaukee Brewers in the bottom of the ninth. With Schwarber up to bat on a 3-2 count, the former Chicago Cubs slugger was looking to do some damage or get on base to start a rally. Schwarber took the low but outside — 3-2 count pitch from Josh Hader and was on his way to first when Hernandez called the him out on strikes/
Schwarber completely lost it.

And you can see why Schwarber had a problem with the call, because it was clearly outside the strike zone.

Phillies manager Joe Girardi had some words about the situation after the game, stating pretty much what we’re all thinking.
Joe Girardi on what he said to Angel Hernandez after Kyle Schwarber's ejection: "It's gotta be better than that, it just does."

Schwarber too commented on the call:
“I’m not here to bury anyone,” Kyle Schwarber said, “but it wasn’t very good.”
