Manny Machado was so mad after an Angel Hernandez call overturned a hit by pitch

On the long, long list of bad Angel Hernandez calls that we’ve seen over the years, this one was far from the worst. Heck, it might have even been … the right one?

But it still made Manny Machado mad, and that’s noteworthy.

And that meant it was strike three.

That first base ump? You guessed it. Angel Hernandez. But I actually think he might have gotten the call right?

His name was trending on Sunday night:

That’s my take, actually!
