If a batter draws a line, then he has effectivly argued the call. What's worse is that he just stepped over the point of no return in my game by showing me or my partner up. A batter or coach using their mouth to argue can be tolerated and the disagreement ended in a gentlemanly fashion. Draw a line on me or my partner and you just ended the conversation! I do not give one inch on this point.

Although I agree with Pete Booth that there is nothing in basball rules to back this up, I will not tolerate it. The batter is arguing balls and strikes. He can draw all the lines he wants in the nearest sandbox but he will not be doing it on my field.
