The problem is, if you don't immediately stop the chirping about your strike zone, then you pretty much tell both teams that they can do it for the whole game. It is very tough to regain control once you lose it.

I don't mind a civil discussion about almost any subject on the field. But I insist that the discussion be one on one, and be done respectfully and quietly. I don't tolerate yelling from dugouts or coaching boxes. I cover this in my pre-game with the head coach's.
