How can you argue balls/strikes or stuff like that with the umpire?

I would be embarrassed to post all the bad things that I have uttered, shouted, and exclaimed at the virtual umpires in the Show. Oh and Woody Keller, I truly apologize for that thing I said about your wife. It was totally uncalled for.

Isn't there a toggle switch in the Gameplay menu that has to do with arguing a call or something?

The only option is whether or not you want ejections. But there is no option for arguing calls.

Yes, MVP had it close. I think you could contol the intensity of your argument by how rapidly you pushed the button...heck, even Earl Weaver Baseball had it back in the late 80's.

I think it would be a cool addition, and I also think that if the manager got tossed, they should let the CPU take over all your lineup/pitching decisions.

I usually play after everyone has gone to bed around here, so I'm pretty quiet. I got into a bad habit of vocalizing my displeasure over the summer when the kids were up later or had gone out...some of it got pretty 'colorful' Now that they are back in school and in bed early I'm really having to bite my tongue lol

I forget what game it was but if your manager got tossed you had no control over managerial decisions. Maybe that was MVP.

Yeah I was watching the Yankees-Tigers game and when Jim Leyland came out arguing about our pither not being tossed for throwing at his batter, I could hear what he said on TV because the cameras were so close, something about the ****in' playoffs and how the umpires are the ****in' reason the Tigers aren't in the hunt. There were no bleep outs.
