Kyle Schwarber loses it on umpire Angel Hernandez after bad third strike call

On Sunday, the Phillies outfielder unleashed a league's worth of frustration on umpire Angel Hernandez.

Facing a full count in the bottom of the ninth inning of a game Philadelphia trailed Milwaukee, 1-0, Schwarber took a fastball from Brewers closer Josh Hader. The pitch was outside. Schwarber was not awarded his base.

Instead, Hernandez called Schwarber out on strikes. Schwarber erupted. Immediately. As if he'd anticipated the bad call.

As soon as Hernandez signaled strike, Schwarber slammed his bat into the dirt, sending it bouncing toward the dugout. His helmet came next, likewise bounced into the ether.
