- 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.

What a worthless POS!
Y do I want to dislike this! Joe makes me so made and I'm a cubs fan and I remember watching that game and being mad because the infielders couldn't talk to him
How is fan interference Joe West's fault? You guys will just throw any video up,
Games aren't the only thing he blew since the 80s
He keeps the game interesting!!
Joe West has been 75 years old for the past 40 years.
Scott Palmersheim nice 😂
Scott Palmersheim him and Jerry Meals should have had a name switch
Like Bernie Sanders 😂
Scott Palmersheim Hold this W
Only 75? You mean 90😂
A well officiated game is when you don't notice the officials. This guy loves attention.
The adventurous Guinea pig No, it’s more obvious with bad calls
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 There’s more of a reaction to bad calls as opposed to good calls
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
Seems pretty simple, goes back to the original post
Joe West has been a joke since the 80’s. It’s all about his opinion, not the rules of the game. He missed his calling as a politician lol
Joe West once went to a baseball game with his mother, she leaned over to ask him if he wanted nachos, he threw her out of the game
@Peyton’s Sports Blogging channel for real ?
@@imajsstove2907 we will never know
I laughed so hard 🤣🤣
he actually stored them in his double chin
If that's true that's fucking hilarious.
Also, no one cares, but I'm the 40 the like.

The Betts fan interference call is excellent umpiring.
Right. He caught that live
He could have caught it if the fan hadn’t interfered
Half of these are Joe West is epic. Like fix your title bro
It also shows West making the out call after a review, that's not Joe West's call, that came from MLB
I’m still mad about it, but that wasn’t him. I thought altuve was robbed, but that wasn’t joe west.
" I think he has a dinner reservation or a concert to play in." lolol
Judging by his physique, I’d bet on the dinner reservation.
He may not be the best umpire, but he’s better than Angel Hernandez
every umpire is better than angel hernandez.
Awesomegamerboy 1 and Ron kulpa
Agreed
I don’t even know you and I guarantee you that you’re a better umpire than Angel Hernandez.
@@1937ptcruise Every non umpire is better than angel hernandez
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.
Typically dont unless they're shit
My wife says he needs to be the center of attention.
I disagree, he also makes a LOT of bad calls.
The only decent umpire that did that, was Ron Luciano.
He once kicked Earl Weaver out of BOTH games of a
doubleheader.
But, he was a decent umpire.
Country Joe is anything but
decent!
steve
yup. There are a lot of good umpires in baseball and I know none of their names.
0:57 I think Joe's having a Vietnam flashback
Posey: Um, guys? Can we please continue the game?
“Boom”
The lack of accountability for these umpires is the real disgrace.
he needs a custom helmet because his neck sags so low
Hoo hoo
Doubts he even has a neck. It’s just his bloated frog croak.
Joe West is Admiral Akbar.... it’s a trap!
@@donalddeluxe6407 the guy has held a job for over 30 yrs what have you done?
LSgaming420 currently in college as well as have acted in 30 plays before the outbreak.
I'm no fan of Joe West, but quite a few of these clips do not make Joe look like he "sucks".
Totally agree. Some dont make any sense.
Agree
I know right. Just some moron trying to get views
The fan interference call especially was 100% correct, and the dude even includes the instant replay in the clip.
Only one he missed was check swing on Hunter. The rest I really don’t have a problem with.
The Mookie betts one was definitely fan interference and was a good call by Joe West to go take a look at
The call at 1:55 was literally perfect. He doesn't suck in that situation, he is just making the right call.
The fan didnt interfere with it. He clearly missed the ball lmao his glove would have either deflected the ball off his right or went into the fans hand.
@@Whatacomedian_ The fan didn't hit the baseballs they hit the glove. Notice how his glove suddenly closes, that's because it hit a fans hand. Take that hand away and he can make the catch. It was the correct call.
The minute his glove crosses the fence the fan can make contact. Didn't matter anyways because he wasn't going to catch that ball. Its a blown call in any scenario
@@Dannyk25 How could you say he wouldn't catch it? He obviously would have. The fan reached juuuust past the yellow line, which they have no right to do.
@@Whatacomedian_ If you'd look up the other angle where the camera looks down the wall instead of in front of it. The ball clearly past the wall a good foot or two. 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.
Curt Schilling said it best: "Joe West is an excellent umpire. Amazing on the bases, super consistent strike zone. He's just an asshole."
We should "AX" Tori Hunter...😂😂😂
Curt gave him WAY TOO HIGH of praise
@@castillo33brandon you should look up "curt Schilling Joe West story"

@@cerealissoup84 I apologize, I just saw this 11 months later! But you are 100% correct! Next to hernandez, Joe west is the Babe Ruth of umpires! 🤣🤣
I'd say while half of these clips prove your point, the other half run counter to your point.
The Mookie Betts fan interference was a great call, I doubt most umpires would get that one right without having to see the replay.
I honestly think he makes a lot of good calls. But he's just like that know it all at school which everyone dislikes just because he knows it all and make you know he does.
@@carlbrutananadilewski9550 Was that year an outlier for Joe? What's his consistency look like over his career?

Joe west is the epitome of a petty man wielding his tiny modicum of power like a flaming sword.
Lakers vs. Celtics, okay.
Cowboys vs. 49ers, sure.
But Chicago vs. Joe West.
Now that's a rivalry for the ages.
1978 - present
He did that Twins Tigers game so I assume he does both, it’s pretty interesting if baseball splits the umps into AL and NL because of the slightly different rules.
I honestly thought this dude hated the giants the most, but he even had the bullshit he pulled against that guy on the dodgers too so idk.
Nice name I guess
Lakers-Celtics since the 50s..
Detroit Lions vs Refs
@@shoban God he's fucked the White Sox more times than any umpire in history. Hernandez may catch up someday?
Angel Hernandez is still worse.
Joe West is a close 2nd.
Yes
Yup
That’s debatable lol
William Allen Ain’t that the damn truth? Lol

damn, that's tufffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff oh wow you got to the end.
Lol
That's messed up but funny😂😂😂
Joe maddon is smart af, he argues with the umpire to buy time for the bullpen
Charles Hsu hell yes man major cubs fan here. He always does this especially in the 9th
That is exactly what he was doing and him directing the players to go to the mound is considered a trip and Joe called him on it and that is why he went out to argue. That rule is so specific that if the guy in the bullpen throws another pitch after the umpire calls him out of the bullpen then that pitch is deducted from the 8 warm up pitches.
Charles Hsu yeah his goal was to get ejected pretty much and just but Chapman some time
@@CH-qw6yy That was 2016 (as that was the only year Chapman was on the Cubs), they didn't have trips back then. Trips to the pitchers mound did not start to be recorded until 2018. Joe West was just being a dick here. He was trying to speed up the game. He was completely out of line.
Literal textbook big league coaching.
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?"
I wish that Umps could be mic'd up because then we'd get to hear all of it and it would be the television gold.
Umpires have become crybabies... West must have had connections to get the job...
He’s kinda like that old guy everyone has in there neighborhood, where if you accidentally hit a ball on his lawn, he screams “get off my lawn”
Modustollens1 dam kids playing that fooseball, all of you belong in jail
Josh arch. After you kept are ball, that’s when we get a golf ball or a real baseball and play directly in front of your house
But kids now days don’t play outside anymore, they just stay inside and watch their phone 📲
2:22 was the right call, the fans closed his glove and he couldn’t catch it where he could have if he didn’t have them hit his glove
Then call for them to play the out again. No reason to call the out when a fan simply interfered.
@@shanekeenaNYC it's an out by rule. You can't just "replay" it. The rulebook states that it's an out.
But if the ball was already in the stands, which it was, then it's not fan interference. Bad call
@@XenoMonicals mookies glove was still in front of the wall when the contact happened. You can see it from the side angle. It was a good call.
Shane Keena you're useless
That last strike called in the ninth was him wanting to get the hell out of there.
The memories.... Going to Veterans Stadium in Philly (their old stadium) and hearing the jeers around the stadium when they announced Joe West as an umpire.
Thank God for instant re-playing baseball now.
Peter Fitznuggly doesn’t belong in baseball
@@hogartstrain5641 Yeah we need more blown perfect games and kids reaching over a wall to catch a ball for a home run in the ALCS
HogartsTrain how
And they still somehow, sometimes screw it up
Not for balls and strikes but yes I think it’s helped a lot. If only it could give galaraga his perfect game back !
Mookies glove was pushed together not allowing for the catch that’s a good call.
Yea I saw that
I know. That was obvious.
Hypnotic Ghost his glove was out of play. That isn’t fan interference since it was over the fence
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.
@@12Charliesgaming12 If the ball is past that yellow line, it is in fan territory and is fair play for the fans to make a grab at it, closing his glove or not. It was a homerun
5:40 “He’s got a buffet table to get to” should be a new term for any umpire making suspect calls to try and get the game finished
Joe West is living, breathing proof that there should be a 10 year limit on umpires in the MLB.
Joes problem was he wanted to be in the spotlight instead of being invisible like umpires are supposed to be.
I mean, kinda can't blame him
Kind of difficult for that wide body to go invisible 😆
Joe West looks like an angry pelican.
As a Floridian. I concur
Ya don’t say!
I geeked so hard lol

Grow up
The fact that there is countless video of Joe West umping, and yet half your clips were murky at BEST, kinda proves that he's a solid ump. You'd think that you'd be able to find better examples of him being bad since he's been in the league forever.
THESE UMPIRES ARE GETTING BURNED OUT. THEY'VE BEEN CALLING GAMES FOR TOO LONG. MLB SHOULD ALOW YOUNGER UMPS TO CALL GAMES.
Omar Tamariz i 100% agree. They should have younger umpires start in minor leagues, and based on performance, have them move up to the majors, the same way the players do
Hell no 😂 cause they probably would make there favorite team win
YA Buggin ...that’s...that’s exactly what happens already
Yes
YA Buggin that’s exactly what happens now you fucking idiot
Between Joe West and Angel Hernandez, I’d much rather have a beer with Joe West.
Just make sure you protect your food by having a beer with Joe at a very LARGE table.
@@MichaelSIngle-gn9qz No matter how big the table was, there'd never be enough room on it for any of your things because Joe West literally puts as much food in front of himself as possible. No other way to maintain that massive chin.
Joe West looks like he was about getting ready to take his belt off and give the pichter a spnking lol at :45
I'm so hard up for baseball right now that I'm watching Joe West videos. Goddamned Covid-19.
The Joe Maddon one really got me. If the catcher wants to talk to his pitcher, he damn sure better be able to. As a catcher, I would absolutely go OFF on the ump if he stopped me
Totally agree.
LucasListens there’s a limit dumb ass
Texas Owl that doesn’t count as a mound visit, dumbass
@@texasowl5356 Not if the catcher and the pitcher are talking to say, change up the signs. There's only a limit on manager mound visits
Connor Hoagland wrong. The rules state no exact number or limit. But umpires have the right to limit based on discretion.
1:05 the way his monster double chin protrudes from the bottom of the mask is a thing of beauty
Joe has always been my favorite Ump
1:48 that was definitely the right call and it was reviewed idk why it’s in the vid and 2:33 the Astros deserved it
The mask leaves several of Joe West's chins unprotected.
SewerRatID his neck fat acts as a natural neck guard.
At 0:26 Whats that clip in here for? The stare-down I assume because it was a ball. I'm actually confused by this video so far, as the next two plays West is correct in his calls.
If I am at a game that Joe West is behind the plate I leave and ask for a alternate game ticket. He is incompetent.
4:15 joe west is stalling the game when he is getting mad at the cubs for stalling
Seems to me Joe West has a hard time being wrong
Do you know how many times I have reversed a call WITHOUT REPLAY in 25 years of Umpiring, being wrong and reversing yourself is a part of the game on my field getting the call right for the kids.
@@dahillbillynews5923 .....I still dont see much of an issue with Joe west. The video showed good calls by joe west
“Not as bad as Angel Hernandez” will be etched on his tombstone when he dies.
1:40 threw it straight at the ground and he stilled called it a strike just to stick it to the guy 🤣
Whoever made this is an Astros fan lmao
xavier nieves whoever wrote this is a red Sox fan lmao
harryRS729 Must be a Astro’s or yankee fan 😂
Lol for real butt hurt Astros fans
I was just thinking the same
@FREEDOMFIGHTER47 how about those butt hurt Astro fans wonder what their doing with all that champagne
I don’t know , every time I watch Joe West call balls and strikes he has a good zone.
What zone is that? The twilight zone or you just get stoned and don't know the difference so you watch the biggest ego statistic pos umpire in history figure out ways he can draw attention. He is a total embarrassment to the game.....
According to fancy baseball computers he has the most consistent and accurate strike zone among all umps.
M M can’t be that cocky. I mean you can’t give up control or show weakness as a ref in any sport, but his ego is entirely too big. It’s not a refs place to get involved with players during the game. Joes ego makes all umps look bad.
The Greek his strike zone is fine he just has an ego
"And Boom! He decides no: you're not going to. I've got a buffet table to get to." 😂
Love how West called a strike before the batter arrived at the plate, loved how he showed up the batter taking his time doing practice swings (lol like that does anything)
Joe's ego is almost as big as his jowls.
Almost as big.
That was a funny comment right there
2:27 that's a good call there was fan interference
I never thought I'd watch low lights of a bullfrog in an umpire uniform
This Thanksgiving we're having Joe West as a Turkey alternative...
"All I ax, everybody ax, we ax you to do your job as well."
My boss tells me that all the time. Then again, I'm a lumberjack.
1:40 the dude wasn't even in the box. West must have been in a hurry for the 7th inning stomach stretch at the concession stand.
The 'dude''s not allowed to fiddle fuck around after the umpire has called play.
@@Mike_LaFontaine75 We're talking about an umpire who makes a point to inject himself into every aspect of the game, and on numerous occasions has he let his personal feelings get in the way of his officiating. West's ego is enormous; I bet you can't name a single umpire and less than ten players who think they're more important to baseball than West.
@@chrisseger2346 I don't care what an asshole West is, he was justified by the rules in this case.
1 minute from kast out to 1st pitch. Know the rules
When Joe looks at himself in the morning he says "well, at least I'm not Angel Hernandez".
Joe West is the type of guy to spend 5 minutes screaming at you for taking 10 seconds to tie your shoe
Well he is definetly better than Angel Hernandez.
That's like saying Stalin was better than Hitler.
@@MichaelSIngle-gn9qz but he wasnt
@@MichaelSIngle-gn9qz slight differences are differences you know. while stalin was a dictator like hitler he was at least *on the allies side*
Who cares? You can be pathetic and still be better than the absolute worst.
Honestly tho that was interference in right field
Edit: holy I didn’t think I’d get all these likes
spark spams l2 Agreed. That was the right call.
I disagree
No, mookie went into the crowd
My bad I read wrong... most definitely a homerun
Agreed. The contact was made at/before the line, not beyond it. Imagine the yellow line goes vertical, that's the plane they say the fan touched his glove in and that his glove had not yet crossed it into the stands.
That epic stare down with Burgarmer. Epic
Joe west and baumgarner: staring at each other
*slow love music starts playing*
Well... If it isn't Joe "God complex" West...
5:41 I’ve got a buffet table to get to😂
Best Joe West moment was when a fan intentionally hit him in the head with a baseball.
“Okay, MadBum…. DRAW!”
Its sad that umpires build a reputation enough to know them by name, and not in a good way.
What was Joe Walrus's blood alcohol level at this game?Just curious.
1:50 He actually made the right call. Mookie was about to snag that and a fan squeezed his glove. Looked to be an accident but still interference nonetheless
NOT IF THE BALL LEAVES THE FUCKING FIELD
@@downnice95 probably his best controversial call ever. he called it right salty astros fan
How can someone with such ghastly physical health be hired for this position his neck is ridiculous.
2:33
How does that make him suck? it's not Joe West's fault that the catcher can't throw!
I'm just going to throw this one out there and say he did that on purpose. I can't guarantee it but it's definitely not out of the question. Can't think of a better way to retaliate against an umpire than drilling with a throw down the second base
Super Random Gamer vasquez has a extremely good arm, i'd say that was on purpose
Yeah no way they would've got him out. Honestly, it helped the fielding team because if the throw got by, the runner would've been at 3rd.
@@mysteryboagaming2137 exactly
I actually agree with Joe West on saying play ball when the batter was warming up. He was taking too long.
He should learn to be patient!
0:30 Yeah i think MadBum just about sums up any pitcher’s feelings when joe west is on home plate for them😂
To be fair, it's not difficult to piss off Bumgarner.
Joe West's ego is almost as big as his quadrupal chin

Joe West actually made a great call on that Mookie Betts catch interference
Joe West was a replacement umpire during an umpire’s strike.
Orioles had braille uniforms made for Joe West day at the park this year.
If I had a neck that went from my chin to chest, I’d be sour too.
"He had a buffet table to get too"
That turtle feeding frenzy has tempted me through the years but I'm still staying strong.
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.
Yeah, he was crazy to post his opinion on TH-cam.....who does that??
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.
djfielding18 ur joking right? He literally robbing a home run. He’s at the wall, jumped, AND reached back. This has to be a troll
The really old video that’s what’s supposed to happen when someone refuses to get into the box
True!! But there is a little thing called the strike zone....he showed his ass and missed it.
And there's a rule called Rule 6.02 (c): "If the batter refuses to take his position in the batter’s box during his time at bat, the
umpire shall call a strike on the batter. The ball is dead, and no runners may
advance. After the penalty, the batter may take his proper position and the regular
ball and strike count shall continue. If the batter does not take his proper position
before three strikes have been called, the batter shall be declared out."
@@pedrotavares87 he was a pinch hitter. He's allowed 3 warm up swings as long as it doesn't slow the game by more than 20 seconds, and it didn't.
@Radio Free Kekistan, you're wrong, Mondesi wasn't a pinch hitter, he was the 7th batter in the line up. The incident happened during the second inning of the game (in which in the following pitch he drove the first run of the game with a single)
@@pedrotavares87 how does what batting order he was mean anything? Pinch hitters are replacement hitters. That's an unrelated argument. Then you talk about the previous batter? Wtf. Your argument is all over
