Yes. There have been many cases when coaches come out and argue a call, then the ref/ump concurs with the other refs and a call is overturned. But one-on-one, a coach is not going to get any ONE ref/ump to change his mine...they dont like to admit they are wrong

not really lol they just waste their time to argue and make their point to the umpires but its a waste of time becuz they never win the argument or they end up getting thrown out of the game.but am on the coaches side becuz 85%of the time,the calls that the umpires make are wrong(excluding balls and strikes).thats why i think baseball should have instant replay becuz the calls the umpires make sometimes are ridiculously wrong!!

Yes 1969
Mets v Orioles in the World Series.
Pitcher hit a Met.
Ump said no.
Gil Hodges came to the plate and retrieved the ball.
Old days they had leater shoes.
There was shoe polish on the ball.
No antics just a discussion.
But guess what Cleon Jones awared First base and next thing
Mets win the game.
So it does happen
You can see it on the old tapes when it raines at games.
Amazing moment, strategy
G. Hodes should be in the Hall of Fame as a manager.
Thanke for letting me speak
May I have a Ba

Of course they have. In fact, just last night Jim Tracy sucessfully argued that a ball hit by Josh Bard hadn't cleared the railing in right field after the umpires gave Bard a home run.

yeah. last night's pirates/padres game. Jim Tracy argued ground rules. Happens quite often. Usually the most they do is argue to have one umpire get some help. give it a once a week occurance.

Hah, not normally. They only do it because they're venting (and have anger management issues, you can tell who a bad coach is by the way they scream and yell. That is terrible coaching, and it means they really don't have any trust in their team they feel they have to argue their way to the win.) And because of pride.

The "win" for a manager is the result of the argument, not the argument itself; if arguing balls and strikes, you would be able to notice if the umpire does change the strike zone as a result. Of course, the manager will watch it from the clubhouse, as they'll be ejected for it.

Yes, but when this happens the other umpire gets really mad.

They don't, but what it does do is get the team fired up a bit. It also can disrupt the rhythm of the pitcher.
