You've already established that you are not doing your job and are baiting the coach. You've made your intentions clear to us, and with your comment to the hypothetical manager, you made your motivations clear to him. Even without that, it's still unprofessional. Just because you don't get caught doesn't mean that you're any less wrong.

Another incorrect statement. Baseball, like societies, has standards of acceptable conduct, and also like societies, those standards vary from group to group. Even with those verying standards, I have yet to see an area of competitive baseball in which all arguing of judgment calls is verboten, either formally or informally.
