A current MLB arbiter told me this about a current MLB manager (not Mr. Cox). I paraphrase.

"Sometimes, he'll start the chirping--loud--in the first inning. By the time we get to six or seven, and skip finally comes out of the dugout, you're so sick of him that you toss him."

The media can't hear what comes from the dugout. IMHO, this is what precedes many EJs.

When's the last time you saw an EJ on tv and heard an announcer say, "Well, Joey Bagodunts has been ejected, and he probably deserved it."

Harummph.
