Let's agree to disagree (A2D) here. If anyone 'questions' a call with an actual POV and not yelling to all of Calaveras County (not a general "YGBSM!") I'll use Garth's "Verbal Firearms" 5-word response (he.was.on.the.bag). For a player, that's enough. Then I'm walking to my position.

If I hear a player 'escalate', he might get TheLook or nothing. Once more.

A scream at my back, begging to depart? That's not 'argumentative' on my part, it's taking out the trash. Between us, only one of us is being paid to enforce the rules of baseball, and it ain't him. I'm not talking down a jumper from a tall building here.
