Longtime Major League Baseball umpire Ángel Hernández is known for having a relatively low tolerance for criticism. During Friday's spring training game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Washington Nationals, Hernández's short fuse was on full display when he ejected pitcher Lance Lynn twice. Lynn, who was making his spring training debut, appeared to take issue with Hernández's strike zone in the third inning. The umpire ejected the right-hander from the exhibition game. Hernández, who was hired as a big league umpire in 1993, has been controversial on the field at times.
