Everyone's favorite umpire got his butt suspended for calling out Beltre publicly.

I don't think he did anything to warrant the suspension.

 

Of course I didn't think Beltre should have been ejected for moving the on deck thing.

 

People need to relax and laugh about some things. I don't know why everything is taken so seriously and offensively. There are plenty of things to take that way, but the littlest things now are made such a big deal of.

Because that is what Joe West does. He ejects people and puts on a show.

An umpire can't criticize a player publicly. They're supposed to be unbiased judges. If he can't keep up that appearance then he should retire.

Thanks for making my point. OMG, Joe West said Beltre is a great player but lousy umpire. He is so biased.

If you can't meet the basic rules of professionalism for your job you should not have that job.

Apparently he is doing something correctly. Only 2 men have umpired more MLB games than Cowboy Joe.

I don't agree with him much, but at least he's not a robot.

I thought it was hillarious and I don't understand why Joe West was suspended for this.

I don't believe he should be suspended for tossing Beltre. I believe he should be suspended for publicly commenting negatively on a single player. That step is the one that challenges the umpire's objectivity.
