Unless you say the magic words. Baseball is the only sport (maybe soccer at times) that arguing with an official is tolerated though.
It's like it's own side game like fighting in hockey. It's almost like a show that both the manager and the ump do for the crowd. A voluntarily uncoordinated event of some kind

Fighting has a purpose in hockey, just fyi.
Baseball decides that throwing 100 MPH heat at someone's head is a better way to do it.
And sometimes, yes managers do put on a show ususally for their own team to show they have their back, but also to get that player out of the limelight/trouble. They (the manager) and the fans would much rather have the manager thrown out than the star player, which is the entire point for many in this thread.
But this wasn't a dog and pony show between manager and umpire, Williams was legit pissed that this a-hole ump threw out his star for no apparent reason.
