Though I generally defend the umpires, because they have no ax to grind and the players generally do, it's disappointing that Hernandez hid behind a closed door after making a call that affected the outcome of the game.
If he were following normal MLB protocol, he would have given the media an explanation of his ruling. The fact that he did not want to do so leaves room to wonder how confident he was in the correctness of his call.
