Actually, your question has more to do with mechanics. Again, your approach to this type of question might determine whether you get an answer. "Can I ask what happened on that foul ball call in the 7th inning?" might get a more informative answer than "So are you guys going to admit that you screwed up?"

Then, listen. Don't argue. If you have one follow-up question, you can ask that. Thank them for their time. There's no point in arguing with them.

Ordinarily I would not discuss a controversial situation with a fan until I'd had a chance to discuss it privately with my partner first.
