First, RIP Barney Fife.
Next, I work both sides of the aisle, so as a manager I ALWAYS ask the umpire what he had on this play. ALWAYS. It's courteous, not confrontational and informative.
I encourage managers to do the same with me. I've got no problem telling anyone what I saw. 9 times out of 10 it will end a conversation right there.
"I had the perfect angle to see the ball picked up just before your runner hit the bag. Anything else?"
