Sorry, JW. I just don't see a time where I would run all the way down the line to eject a player who committed an unsportsmanlike act right in front of my partner, unless I was working with a rookie. If he had his back to the incident, then sure, I would issue the ejection. Along those lines I would be pretty pissed if my partner came running out from behind the plate to eject a runner for MC at second base if it was my call to make.
There wasn't a good reason for him not to eject this idiot, but that still doesn't make it my call.
Tim.
