Pedro Martinez is not a big fan of umpires, that much is clear. The legendary pitcher didn’t hold back during Tuesday night’s episode of MLB Tonight on MLB Network, Martinez let one loose live on-air, criticizing umpires for not knowing what they’re doing. Martinez didn’t drop an F-bomb, but did let an expletive fly.

Nice work by Pedro Martinez, much like he was on the mound, the former flame thrower is fearless.

And most fans are not too keen on umps these days, so he’s definitely preaching to the choir.
