Bobby is a manager who will fight for his players. I think thats what was happening. He saw an umpire go after his player, and he wanted to know why.
Was it a good call?
I'm not one to make that determination.
As an umpire, I'm not going to say whether or not I would have ejected him because none of us really can tell without actually being in the situation at that moment.

After 141 ejections, he gets what he has coming to him.
