WATCH: How everyone reacted to Kyle Schwarber’s takedown of Angel Hernandez?

Kyle Schwarber gave home-plate umpire Angel Hernandez the scolding he deserved at the end of the Philadelphia Phillies’ game on Sunday night.

With the Phillies behind 1-0 in the ninth inning, Hernandez decided that Schwarber had struck out, despite the fact that the pitch was nowhere near a strike.

It was the ultimate straw in a game marked by multiple missed calls, which Hernandez is no stranger to. Schwarber threw his bat and helmet into the air before yelling expletives at the controversial umpire. Hernandez disqualified him despite the fact that the game was barely minutes away from ending.

Everyone on the Phillies bench was feeling it. Someone had to step up and say something, and it takes some leadership on Kyle’s part to do so.

That was probably pretty cathartic for all of them.
