But really, are we supposed to handle ourselves like these umpires and just flat out TAKE this abuse after an ejection? Where were the other umpires to try to escort this coach away (like i've seen in NCAA video bulletins)? Are we really supossed to stand there like mannequins and just let the coach unload on us like this if this would ever happen to us?

This was Single A ball, so its very possible that it was a 2-man crew. Now, maybe the PU should have tried to intervene at the beginning, but once the coach started after him, what else is there to do besides turn around and walk away?
And as far as taking the abuse, honestly Bossman what would you have done? Yelled back at him while he was squirting the plate with a water bottle? There's an old saying: Fight fools with silence. Works everytime for me
