Idiot ump 'Cowboy Joe West' had a stare down with Madison Bumgarner

'Cowboy Joe West' was missing inside pitches on San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner last night. Then the ump moved up the third base line and looked to be trying to intimidate the hurler. All that baiting led to this stare down.



So Bumgarner is supposed to be subjected to that, with the associated surge of adrenaline, etc. and then pitch? Nonsense. MLB should step in and suspend Joe West right now.

And never forget - West has been suspended by the league before...

**Update, Friday night -- West got into it with Jimmy Rollins.
