I'm more surprised he didn't call it a strike

He kinda turned into it. 🤷‍♂️ Is what it is.

Angel called it a ball, not a HBP? Well good for him. Drives me crazy when umpires don't enforce the rule. Players need to make an effort to get out of the way, but many do the opposite.

It'd be helpful if they showed more than literally 2 seconds of whatever happened so we can SEE WHAT HAPPENED.

Dietrich's elbow got on base more often than he did

It looked like he didn't really make an effort to move out of the way, but like they said, you never see that called.

Amazingly Angel didnt fuck that one up.

Wish more umps would actually enforce this.  Shocked Country Joe doesnt make this more a point of emphasis more often, would get him more air time, tbh.

Angel Hernandez is a shitty umpire, but he nailed this call 100%. Kyle saw it coming and dropped his elbow into it on purpose.

It's the right call but if it's something umps don't normally call I think the players have a right to get a little upset about it. For every umpire the players just want consistency and to get the opposite of that is surely aggravating.

In Angel's defense, he is consistently bad so......
