What do you say to a manager you just ejected?
Nothing... these guys handled this situation properly IMO. As for the plate umpire coming out to break this situation up, he got it next. When a coach, player, or manager goes this mental, do you honestly believe that you could quietly escort him off the field? He threw a frickin' base for crying out loud! There are no polite words that will calm this idiot down. The best thing to do, I think, is just as these two professionals did... give him room (but don't back away) and try not to get hit by flying bases.
BTW- in umpire school, these guys are instructed on how to handle situations. The training includes the instructors going mental, as well as other things such as batters charging mound, bench clears, ect.
