WATCH: Phillies' Kyle Schwarber loses his mind, is ejected after bad ... (CBS sports.com)

Home plate umpire Angel Hernandez was under fire by both teams all night.

- Schwarber then gives us the show we deserve, theatrically pointing out that Hernandez has missed pitches ... on THIS side of the plate ... and THIS side of the plate ... and ABOVE the zone ... and BOTH TEAMS AGREE. Seriously, that has the be the best part of the ejection. It was quite the effort. The only let down was Phillies manager Joe Girardi being so subdued. Hernandez held up his end of the bargain here by immediately tossing Schwarber. He slams down his bat and helmet, but seemed careful to make sure they didn't go in the direction of Hernandez at all. Call this more of a prediction than a declaration, in that case, because we doubt there will be a more fun ejection of a Major League Baseball player.

MLB won't suspend Kyle Schwarber, but should rethink how they ... (That Balls Outta Here)

MLB won't suspend Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber for losing his cool at umpire Angel Hernandez, but they should mete out consequences for bad umpiring.

And to make the whole charade even more farcical, the umpires seemingly didn’t realize white wristbands are often worn in support of people who suffer from blindness.” But they have better technology than anyone who did the job before them, and don’t make things any easier on themselves by going about the game as pompous overlords. In the most heightened cases, umpires can make or break a game, as evidenced on Sunday night. To make matters worse, umpires know that they can do what they want. Jeff Passan said it best in 2017, when umpires wore white wristbands to protest Ian Kinsler not getting suspended for insulting none other than Hernandez, himself: On Monday afternoon, the baseball world got an answer.

Former Cubs star Kyle Schwarber goes off on an umpire (Da Windy City)

Former Chicago Cubs star Kyle Schwarber went off on umpire Angel Hernandez for blowing another call that led to his ejection.

He is right and Angel Hernandez has probably since seen that the call was brutal. This was one of the top sports moments of the night after it happened. He was really giving it to the umpire and even pointed in the direction of the Milwaukee bench. Now that Joe West is retired, he has the crown of being the face of the umpire community. He is one of the only umpires in Major League Baseball that is recognizable because he is so bad. Now, he has since departed and is in the news for something extremely funny.

It could have." "It could have. It isn't. That's why I'm kind of for the automated strike zone. He called a total of seven strikes against Milwaukee hitters that were out of the zone. I'm pro-umpire," he said. I wouldn't," he said. "That's way inside," Girardi said of the first pitch to Segura. "It makes it really hard. "And it's on both sides. "It's got to be better than that, right, it just does," manager Joe Girardi said moments after the last out. The Phillies had loaded the bases in a scoreless game with leadoff man Jean Segura coming up. The Phillies ended up losing, 1-0, on a run in the top of the ninth.
