Umpire Joe West calls Red Sox and Yankees a Disgrace to Baseball

Joe West was upset, big deal. The game in question was between the Red Sox and Yankees which took three hours and 46 minutes to play. Joe called both teams a “disgrace to baseball.” Now it’s my turn to call it differently.
Joe West might be struggling with a little weight issue which in turn can cause major fatigue to the legs when umpiring a game that long. Joe West is obese and just look at his large double chin that resembles a Walrus. The guy is way out of shape to be in baseball period!
I am not trying to put the blame totally on Joe, the Yankees and Red Sox do take there time between pitches. They to need to pick up the pace, but to call two of the biggest franchises in sports a disgrace, is going a bit to far.
My advise to Joe, talk to the managers before the game and make sure they keep the pace of the game within reason or under three hours. What happens if it’s a high scoring game Joe? There’s nothing you can do about that.
Eat a salad and move on Joe West!
