Luis Severino was absolutely masterful at his craft Monday night compared to Angel Hernandez.
While the Yankees ace was mercifully removed in the fourth inning after a dreadful performance, the first-base umpire Hernandez had nowhere to hide.
In all, three of Hernandez’s calls were overturned by replay, adding an extra layer of sludge to Boston’s 16-1 blowout victory in Game 3 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium.
Hernandez’s brutal night started in the second inning, when he ruled Didi Gregorius safe at first base on a bunt that moved Giancarlo Stanton to second. The Red Sox challenged the call, which was overturned as replays showed the throw beating Gregorius to the bag.
