I would not go too far with that. The pros are the place where a lot of this has started. The pros talk about damn near everything when there is a close play. Then all of the umpires talk when only one or two were involved directly in the play.

Balks are not automatic ejections. They can argue a balk as long as they do not cross the line. Without knowing what was said we have no idea if the wrong things were said or not.
