2nd pitch... high and out of the zone... swing and miss... strike two

3rd pitch... high and out of the zone... swing and miss... strike three

As he leaves the batters box he says "f**k you"...ejection time! He said that he was saying it to himself and not directing it at me. I told him that he should have ended it with me and not you and waited until he was out of earshot of me. One of his teammates said "come on blue this isn't a high school game"

I felt confident in the ejection but an curious how some of the other veterans would have dealt with this. Any comments?
No brainer ejection. I wouldn't even break a sweat with the big thumb. Flick of the wrist and a quiet "you're done."
