Eli5 Why do baseball players & coaches always argue with the referee?

1.18K views

I always see clips of baseball players arguing with a referee and then getting ejected, but I’ve never once seen a coach or player convince a referee they’re wrong.

Why bother? Surely you know that you’re not gonna change their mind and that you can get ejected pretty easily and that gotta be worse than stifling your ego for a moment just copping the decision.

I’m Australian and don’t really watch baseball so I apologise if any nomenclature is incorrect.

Because the referees are full of shit especially in American tackleball 🏈. Countless times I have seen refs completely undermined the flow of the game and take away plays that were essential.
