If it was judged that he initiated the contact, then yes, I'd agree that he should be suspended. Especially since it's basically an automatic ejection when a player or coach bumps an umpire, for good reason.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander here, I believe.
Along the same lines, Larry Poncino ejected a Mariners pitcher yesterday on his first pitch from being recalled from the minors. The Twins had taken an 8-3 lead on Lew Ford's 3rd homer of the series, and this kid's first pitch slipped out of his hand and went way over Ford's head in the 7th inning. It did appear that the ball just slipped out of the pitcher's hand, but I understand in that situation the tendency to think they might be throwing at Ford. However, I felt Poncino didn't handle the situation very professionally, as he was quite profanely verbal and his body language was probably stronger than it needed to be.
It seems MLB umpires, for whatever reason, at some points can argue vehemently just as hard as players and coaches do. I think it's just a "perk" of the job. If I did that in a high school or small college game, I wouldn't be working much longer. Perhaps it's along the same lines as the more seasoned basketball officials being a little more lackadaisical with their mechanics, because they can do the job right, so raised eyebrows are basically ignored.
