Regards,
29 years of umpiring, 4000+ games, and I have called it, probably once or twice per year; yet I have never had an ejection. I call it when it's so obvious that the guy in center field can see it. Example of an argument: "Now how the hell could you have seen that, Randy?!?" My reply: "Bill, when your batter runs up to bunt the ball and is halfway to the pitcher's mound when he makes contact with the ball, it's rather easy to call."

End of discussion.
