Kinsler blasts ump Hernandez

Detroit second baseman Ian Kinsler had harsh words Tuesday for Angel Hernandez, saying the umpire should get a different job.

A day after being ejected from a game for questioning Hernandez’s calls on balls and strikes, Kinsler said Hernandez is a bad umpire who is “messing” with games “blatantly.”

“It has to do with changing the game. He’s changing the game. He needs to find another job, he really does,” Kinsler said.

After Tuesday’s game, Hernandez said he didn’t know about Kinsler’s criticism. When told in general what the player said, Hernandez said, “It doesn’t matter.

“I’m not at liberty to discuss tit-for-tat what’s going on. As a matter of fact, I don’t even care what he said. What I care about is going out there and doing my job to the best I can do.” Mesoraco out: Cincinnati catcher Devin Mesoraco will be out three to six weeks with a broken bone in his left foot.
