In the first place I don't "hear that," unless it is loud enough for others to hear. Secondly, the umpire has the option of a warning or ejection. Restriction to the bench is not an option. IMO, a warning is the proper call; ejections have too many harsh penalties. So - poor reaction, and then wrong call by umpire.

2. You know how girls wear pre-wrap that is sort of like a stretchy hairband? The umpire said today that if it fell down around a player's neck more than once the girl would be out.????? What is this?
This is making up rules. Umpire needs some training.
