Umpire Joe West blasted the Yankees and Red Sox earlier this week for their slow play. West called the AL East rivals "embarrassing" and "a disgrace to baseball" for slowing the pace of their games to a crawl, according to the Bergen Record. The teams' season opener on Sunday took 3:46 to play and Tuesday night's game went 3:48. "They're the two clubs that don't try to pick up the pace," said West. "They're two of the best teams in baseball. Why are they playing the slowest? "It's pathetic and embarrassing. They take too long to play."
