Ya, hes the guy that is disliked by everyone.
But this is an issue that is too common in baseball. A lot of these umpires are so bad and they still keep their job. NFL and NBA grade their refs and make it public, MLB doesn't. It seems its also very hard to get fired no matter how terrible you are.

Should have their stats up before each game. The same as a pitcher. "Angel Hernandez. 67% pitch call accuracy (last in mlb)" etc

Cant wait till this is a thing

I couldn't care less about an umpires "personality" and how they want to call strikes and balls. People aren't tuning in to watch them, dont tell them that though.

What a clown. Dude is the worst ump in the league, and because he gets passed over for things because of it, he tries to pull the race card?

Considering how little money Bum got, and considering how washed he's looked since, its safe to assume there was no great offer for him in 2019, which is why he wasn't traded. Unless you actually believe that Farhan had a fantastic offer on the table, but was too sentimental about a player he had no history with to pull the trigger.

MLB is moving the All Star game and the draft out of Atlanta. Good for them. f**k Georgia.
