Well, you also don't stick around to kibitz with the player either. It didn't sound as if the player got up immediately and went after the umpire. It sounded like he must have stared at the ump, and then thought he would be a hero and took off after him.
This was the third out, and when it is the third out, I turn a smart about-face and jog on out to short right field. I don't stick around to entertain any argument. If I call him out, he's gonna stay out, and no arguing is going to change my call anyway.
I would appreciate it if my partner had my back if some little peckerhead started to charge after me, too.
