Speaking as a professional umpire here…waving your arms at the umpire is immediately interpreted as a physical threat, and is one of the quickest ways to be sent to the parking lot.

Umpires eject anyone who debates their call on balls and strikes.

Technically, any questioning of judgment calls is grounds for ejection. Balls, strikes, safe, out…anything but rules interpretation is not open for discussion.
