Then of course the umpire is going to tell the kid to stop arguing balls and strikes. Especially with the attitude the catcher apparently has ("see if our pitcher gets the same calls"). He's lucky he didn't get ejected right there!

That is why I said it sounds fishy. It sounds like if there was a question it was based on something the catcher either wanted to talk about or made some comment that sparked a question. Either way I do not know for sure and anything is possible, but it sounds a little more to me than an umpire just asking a question out of the blue.
