I think any theatrics by an umpire are wrong. That would include the "drawing the line in the sand."

The FYC is also theater at its worst.
Had he ejected him without the fanfare and merely stated the ejection was over arguing balls/strikes, the attention would be on Santiego.
By inserting the theatrics, the offense which started this is lost. Its like punishing your 6 year old a hour after he breaks the sindow with the baseball. He doesn't understand why he is being punished.
