I am sorry that Belhorn may have been called out on a pitch outside of the strike zone, but I have been following umpires, with particular emphasis on their strike zones, for over 15 years, and I think West does a solid job behind the plate. In addition, baseball has done a good job of assigning post season crews in recent years, making it based on merit, and West has gotten the LCS two consecutive years.

Whoops braindead moment there....maybe I should re-learn to read. :-/
Anyway, I still do not believe that Joe is a very good umpire. He is usually ranked at the bottom of player and caoch surveys, he seems to seek out arguments at times, and I just don't like the way he works a game. I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. I won't attack what you said or Joe himself- I just happen to have a different opinion from you.
