If you argue balls and strikes, you're done. If you come out of the dugout to defend a player who was ejected for arguing balls and strikes, you're done too. Very simple. Beltran obviously crossed the line, and Brian sent him packing.
yeah I think its the bump that looks REALLY bad not so much that he ran them.... balls and strikes shouldnt be argued ... I just think that it was poorly handled at least from the appearence of it all.
