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.

Even if saying something doesn’t change the prior call, letting the ump know about dissatisfaction might keep them a hair more attentive for the rest of the game.
And a lot of the argumentation happens *after* a player has already been ejected. So they get ejected, and then start yelling and getting in their face. There is no consequence, you’re already out, so that’s when you say your piece.
