One ball over the head that "gets away" I might excuse if in my judgement there was no reason for it. TWO in rapid succession earns an ejection, especially at the higher levels of ball. If the thought goes through MY mind that he's throwing at him, I know it's going through a lot of other minds as well - one of those might be the opposing manager and pitcher.
It's called preventative umpiring.
