Most of the time that managers argue - the call was correct anyway.
MLB umpires are very good and just don't miss too many calls.
As far as ejections - as the temperature gets hotter, so do the tempers. Happens every summer. Something about the heat brings out the wrath of players and coaches.
Also remember, coaches/managers don't always argue because they thought the call was wrong - most of the time it has something to do with other calls earlier in the contest from another umpire or they are frustrated with the PU's strike zone etc.,
Finally they get a close call and they go after the "umpire that made the call", but in reality they are either frustrated with the game or their players.
