  • Long overdue on this one but after he blew a call against the Astros that would’ve tied the game and the series i had to make this video! Joe West seems to frequently have a short fuse and gets easily irritated.

      The adventurous Guinea pig idk, are you a guinea pig? When umpires make good calls, no one thinks anything of it, it’s expected from them because they’re in the major leagues. Bad calls are easier to remember

      The adventurous Guinea pig Well officiated Game = Umpires wont be noticed
      Poor officiated Game= Umpires will be remembered/noticed
      That’s what I meant, More of a reaction to a bad call meaning that that umpire will be more likely to be noticed and remembered than an umpire who calls a good game

    It’s not that West misses a lot of calls; he doesn’t. It’s that West is the classic example of an umpire who believes that people pay to see him rather than the players. Personally, I think we shouldn’t even know umpire’s names.

Fans can interfere all they want after it clears the wall. It was a horrible call and cost the home team the game. The sad thing was the umps looked at the replay at all angles and STILL botched the call. That's when I realized its rigged. Red Sox were pushed into the world series that year. MLB is a disgrace these days and the root of it is the officiating staff. Bring out the robots already.

    I can't read lips all that well, but that exchange between Maddon and West I saw West saying the F word way more times than Maddon and the jist was that Maddon was asking West why the infield couldn't talk with the pitcher and West's point was that he had played the whole game without any sort of team meeting on the mound, yet after he lost he no hitter they had one and West saw it as a stall tactic to bring in a reliever and if they want to bring in a reliever than the pitcher can leave the game instead of delaying the game, then Maddon I think says he wants to fight West, West throws him out, then Maddon says something like, "Is that how you are?"

      David Kamps that only applies when both feat are not on the warning track. If he had gone over the fence and caught it then it would be ruled an illegal play. But there is a rule specific to this situation. If the player has a reasonable attempt at catching the ball and a fan interferes then it is up to the umpire’s discretion. Imo that’s a good call because his glove was pushed together. And that ball was still in play.

    Good umpire. He's in it for the wrong reasons though. When you're in this league for this many years, you get bored and try to pick fights and run the show.

      At his age, I don’t think he is the one picking the fights. You don’t see elderly woman walking the streets with handbags because they’re looking for muggers to scrap 😂

      Not that he is trying to pick fights, he thinks the game revolves around him. R.I.P Retired in Place.

      @@KDSRirelandboy1 Granted, umpires are needed, no question about it. But there are some who think they are bigger than the game and don't respect the game

      @Craig Slater I think the correct term is misplaced ego. Umpires are in amidst a very competitive environment where its always back and forth with smack and jib, they need to act as the final say or else whats the point of having umpires. To be honest, some umpires do better being assholes. Some do better being awesome. You can’t choose which you play with and thats all apart of the competitive environment.

    The fan interference is the right call. Clear as day.
    Edit: Wow this took off

      Glad you weighed in on that. Now we can put it to rest. Why didn’t you say something sooner. Now I can finally get a good nights sleep. Btw, I heard MLB is hiring. They could use your expertise.

      According to MLB.com, “if a player reaches into the stands in an attempt to catch a fly ball, any spectator whose presence or actions might prevent the player from catching the ball is not guilty of fan interference.”
      You are wrong. Clear as day.

      the ball was out of play and in the first row of seats which was perfectly legal for the fan to attempt to catch and betts OBVIOUSLY closed his glove himself.
      clear as day.
