Are umpires doing this because they refuse to be part of the manager's show? Or is it sending a message that "you are not worth the time or effort for me to give you the big heave-ho."
Have/will any of you try this mechanic the next time you have to take out the trash?

I haven't used any type of signal or indicator for ejections for about 8 years now. Just don't see the need. No reason to argue with them, either. That's something the MLB umpires need to figure out.
