World don’t work like that…he has every right to argue whatever he wants…rookie or not. He’s not less important than anyone else on that team.
Fair enough, I figured I was in the minority on this one
Just like everything else, moderation is best and knowing when to question. Cannot just get screwed over for three months, but at the same time cannot question everything or nearly everything.

I’ve always despised baseball’s “unwritten rules.” A rookie has just as much right to question calls as a 15 year veteran. If you hit a HR and wanna stand and watch it, so be it. If you wanna flip your bat 273719496 times before it hits the ground, awesome. Just like when pitchers get excited when they get a SO. The “traditionalists” have always pissed me off in baseball.

I think if you know the strike zone then you know the strike zone.
However, I do think there is something to a tenured guy getting the benefit of the doubt on a close pitch based on their reputation for having an incredible eye like a Wade Boggs.

Insert obligatory "When you throw a strike, Mr. Hornsby will let you know" anecdote...

I think every player has the right to argue questionable calls, rookie or not.
Actually rule books states that they do not have the right to argue balls and strikes and the penalty is an immediate ejection. It’s literally a rule. My gripe is only with these guys that have no service time and think that they have some God given right to make an [censored] of themselves at the plate when they strikeout looking.
I think as long as you're actually right argue away. Maybe mlb will realize they have a problem

I think you may be watching the wrong sport then because baseball is all about tradition and if you ignore tradition you ignore baseballs place in the American culture. This sounds exactly like the woke culture which has infested itself in our society.

100% why we need an electronic strike zone in the mlb. Keep the umpires behind the plate to relay the calls, and for emergency situations with glitches with the system.

Or, it’s not living like it’s 1923 instead of 2023. It’s ok for the players to have fun while they play. If you prefer boring [censored] baseball, just rewatch games from 50 years ago.

I just am curious if the AAA robo ump will cause a bit more of this as some guys are used to the robo-ump now and expect every call "perfect"
-
MLB umps have very soft & fragile egos. Anybody says anything they don’t like or anyone that looks at them a certain way gets tossed…Now look at NFL refs - Those guys stand there all game with coaches screaming in their ear & they never bat an eye. F MLB umps bro.
