There is no language rule. Players can say whatever they like. However, like taking a chance on touching the base and the umpire not seeing it to rule on a proper appeal, it is the umpire's discretion of what is USC. A player/coach is more likely to get dumped when they start a sentence with "You" than they are if they begin with "F***".

Don't ask a coach or player if they are arguing balls and strikes. Any dissenting comment questioning your judgment on balls and/or strikes is enough.

When you hear it, just tell the coach that the team is warned for arguing balls and strikes, next occurance will result in an ejection. That usually shuts them up or quiets them down, whichever way, the point is achieved.

Thank you for that boost of confidence/leadership out there. I didn't want to sound to cocky out there, I know the disvs I'm doing, as a rookie, are rec and supposed to be for fun (Tell that to some of the players and Umps tho, sigh).

And Blue Zebra,

Sound advice I will carry onto the field.

TY both.
