Sometimes you've just got to let an umpire know that you're not satisfied with his decision. That they've missed the play in your opinion. Not that it's going to do you any good, but you've got to let them know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most umpires are good about letting the argument go, but you can only go on for so long, or go so far. If you don't leave it alone after a minute or two, you're in trouble. They want to keep the game moving, so they've got to throw you out. I had trouble leaving it alone, I guess.
You argue with the umpire because there is nothing else you can do about it.
Professional managers, coaches, and players have a right to question an umpire's decision if they do it in a professional manner. When they become personal, profane, or violent, they have crossed the line and must be dealt with accordingly.
Take pride in your work at all times. Remember, respect for an umpire is created off the field as well as on.
Step outside the guidelines of the official umpires and make your own rules and your own reality.
Most plays that are missed by the umpire are caused by the umpire not reading those cues early enough and making the proper adjustments.
I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me: the umpires and the rules.
I want you to know that I am one of the more fortunate people in life. There aren't too many of us that somebody selects and says, 'You know, that guy ought to be an umpire.' That's what happened to me.
Your job is to umpire for the ball and not the player.
I always told my young umpires, 'Don't get mad. Whatever you do, don't show it. But no matter how long it takes, get even.'
