Stated that is all that he asked the umpire to do and was told no, so he kept arguing.

Maybe he thought it was an NCAA game

This is an example of the ego problem in MLB. The umps are just as bad as the players. It is rare to see umpires actually get together to make sure a call is the correct call. I wouldn't want replay so much, except the umps in MLB are such egomaniacs, that correct calls are missed simply because "it is only my call".
