Arguing balls and strikes

Unlike other sports, in baseball the manager is allowed to stop the game to argue a judgement call with an official, that is just the way it goes.

LDUB:

Do you really allow coaches to argue balls/strikes with you? If you do I'd love to see one of your games, I hope that they are on time limits. Where do you umpire?

Arguing balls/strikes is not allowed in any level of baseball. The word ‘final” in the FED means that arguing judgment calls is not allowed. I’ve never been to a clinic that teaches otherwise, have you?

All you have to do is provide me with the reference in the rule book (any rule book) stating that a coach can come out of the dugout and argue strikes/balls with the PU. I'd love to see it because according to you I've been doing things incorrectly for many years.

If a coach or player starts to argue balls/strikes with me I'll stop him short with a warning......if he does it again then he's gone, it's that simple. You don’t argue balls/strikes…….at least not more than once
