What's the point in arguing calls?

[skinz]

I finally argued a call in the game. I stole second base with Kaz Matsui which the umpire called out. I looked at the replay and Kaz was clearly safe, so I went out there. Randolph didn't get tossed out and the announcers said that my players were hot and excited, which meant I did something right. But when it was all over, I still had 2 outs and Matsui wasn't on second base. So what the heck does arguing calls do when you do it right?

I think their batting attributes jump, but you still need to be a good hitter in order for them to get runs. It doesn't happen magically.

Arguing at the right time supposedly fires up your team (possible temporary ratings boost?...). Its like a mound visit at the right time boosting your pitcher's stamina.

However I do not think it is possible to have a call reversed by arguing.

If your team gets excited they get a ratings boost, not sure how long it lasts. If the announcers say something bad, like "he needs to pick his spots better" or "the team looks lost without the manager" they will suffera ratings hit, again, not sure how long this lasts. There can be no effect at all as well. But, just like in real baseball, a call can not be reversed.

This isn't football son, there's no instant replay and there are no ties in baseball. Have you ever seen a call reversed in real life?
