Pedro Martinez: MLB needs to do something about ‘horrible’ umpire

If his Game 3 wasn’t bad enough, even some of Boston’s icons are bashing umpire Angel Hernandez.

TBS analyst and Hall of Fame pitcher Pedro Martinez trashed Hernandez following the Yankees’ 16-1 blowout loss Monday night, saying Hernandez should be held accountable for his “horrible” performance.

“Angel was horrible,” said the former Red Sox ace on TBS’ postgame show. “Don’t get me going on Angel now. Major League Baseball needs to do something about Angel. It doesn’t matter how many times he sues Major League Baseball. He’s as bad as there is.”

Hernandez, who sued MLB last year for discrimination, had three calls at first base overturned by replay, a startling number considering the time of the season and magnitude of the game.
