There's a right way and a wrong way to engage umpires when questioning their decisions. For instance, if you happen to use the words, ``You,'' ``You're" or ``You're a,'' in the sentence there's a good chance you'll be pulling the checkbook out to pay the fine that comes with an ejection.

John Ryan Murphy didn't use any of those words, he says, on Monday. But a turn of the head is all it takes to get into trouble sometimes.

Jose Berrios looked to have Jose Altuve struck out on the fifth inning on a nasty breaking ball and broke back in over the inside corner of the plate. Home plate umpire Jerry Layne called it a ball.

We'll let Ryan take it from here:

``I disagreed with the pitch,'' Murphy said. ``I asked where he had the pitch and he didn't respond. So I turned around and asked him again where he had the pitch, and he responded with not to show him up. Not Turning around then I said, `I just want to know where you have the pitch,' and that's when I got tossed.''

Yes, if a catcher turns and looks at an umpire while he's disagreeing with a call, that can be taken the wrong way. There's a lot of talking going on between catchers and umpires during games that we can't see because the masks are on.

I asked Murphy if there was a build-up to the moment, and he replied: ``It's pretty evident both teams had a tough time establishing what the strike zone was tonight.''

That forced Kurt Suzuki into the game, and he didn't seem 100 percent. He struck out in the sixth and walked to the dugout grabbing his left side. He remained in the game.

``Yeah.....I think he's O.K.,'' Molitor said. ``He comes in the game and his first swing he tries to hit one 900 miles and I think he at least got a little uncomfortable with his back. He came back in after the strikeout and tried to work it out and was able to finish the game.''
