Why the f*** is Travis referred to as Devo? There's only one Devo and he's retired along with the name. Can you youngens get a little more f***ing creative?
You can tell the way Weiters was pointing his was clearly arguing that his bat didn't break the plane and wondered why no appeal was granted. Also, the umpire's "you're gone" wasn't emphatic enough to indicate that Weiters told him to go f*** his mother.
If the player is physically in his face, then of course not, but if the player is walking back to the dug out, the umpire should ignore unless the player says something out of the ordinary. The game is not about the umpires.
Runner at second base alone, a hit and run is NEVER put on, especially with a hitter like Goins and a runner like Smoak. First and second with speed and a contact hitter up with less than two out, occasionally.
Montero can't hit RHP, so what's the point when the majority of pitching you see is RH. I think the line up would be better off with a contact / line drive, put the ball in play type bat opposed to Smoak / Colabello / Montero. A Kotchman / Montero platoon would be more productive.
I honestly think Kotchman would outperform both Colabello and Smoak tbh. He had a good spring and I like the way he uses the whole field. His defence is also good.
