I am not sure about this one. I think someone was a little sensitive that afternoon.

No surprise that he is part of Joe West's crew. I DEFINITELY do not like the way West kept jawing with Ron Roenicke. As always, West has to be the show.

What do you think?
Spiking the ball, throwing equipment in anger of a call are all ejections in any rule set.

Joe West is the Crew Chief which means he usually will be there when an ejection takes place to see the ejected party out. In this case, Roenicke had to go by Joe to get to the dugout so you don't know who said what, now do you? Typically, Roenicke would jaw at Joe because again, he's the Crew Chief and one of the umpires ejected him. So more than likely, Roenicke started spilling is usual diarrhea and Joe responded.

You obviously are not an umpire for even posting such dribble!
