24-year veteran umpire Joe West is calling out the Yankees and Red Sox for slow play according to ESPN.com. The comments came after two marathon games on Sunday and Tuesday night. West called the two teams “embarrassing” and “disgrace to baseball” before Wednesday nights game.

“They’re the two clubs that don’t try to pick up the pace,” said West, the chief of the umpiring crew working the three-game series. “They’re two of the best teams in baseball. Why are they playing the slowest?”

Home plate umpire Angel Hernandez denied a number of requested time outs at the plate during Tuesday’s game and did not comment after the game on orders from West.”All of baseball looks to these two clubs to pick up the pace,” West said, “[Hernandez] did everything he could. The players aren’t working with us.”
