Tim.
1. No, there needs to be more there than that.
2. Possibly, but the F-Bomb makes it more likely.

My point, sometimes you have to use a stiletto instead of a broadsword to deal with situations like this. If it is any kind of serious baseball going on, strikes, outs, and a well placed word can do the job better than an ejection.

But with my philosophy being that players and managers eject themselves, not me, then the times the guy needs to go, and the times he doesn't become pretty clear when you see them.
