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

1.11K 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.

Your life consists of making tens of millions of dollars to hit/catch a ball and work out. Sooner or later, you’re gonna have to just make shit up to get mad at.
