All I get is a statement that the play was close and do I want to argue the call? How should I know?? I didn't SEE the play, I read about it. It's a damn text sim! In real life, a manager argues because he saw the play differently than the ump did. In a text sim, what reason is there to say "yes, I want to argue"? If there is no reason to say yes, why would anyone ever do it?

Why do you argue a call in real life? I mean, you know the umpire isn't going to change his mind, so why do you argue? Is it simply emotion, or do you think he might be a bit more in your favor next time?
The point is, you argue because your mad and you want the umpire to know it. You really don't think about later, your just P-o'd right now. In fact, arguing with him may hurt you as well as help you...
If you don't like the option, then simply say "no" when it comes up.
