Opinion on a rat's "honesty"

[DIV2ump]

Double-A game. Sounds like the umpire kicked the call on a play at the plate that decided the game. The player who was called safe to win the game says "I was out."

Is it just me or does that seem like showing up the umpire? It seems like the classy thing would be for the player to say "it was a bang bang play-- I don't know if I was safe or out" instead of coming out and saying what amounts to "the ump blew it."

Thoughts?
