No.

The only ejectable action should be DELIBERATELY letting the ball hit the umpire.

Many are arguing that a lazy or incompetent catcher can be ejected. You can't eject an incompetent player ("OK Pitch, that's four walks this inning, you're outa here" or "You call that a swing - you're GONE") - right?.
