I'm not refuting the MBUM, I'm refuting cc6. If you read carefully you will see that his original claim was :
"Also, thrown equipment is an
automatic ejection in the mlb."
Now then, if yuu read the MLBUM, you'll find:
"MLBUM 2.19: Throwing equipment in protest of call,
"Any player throwing equipment in disgust of an umpire's call shall be reported and subject to fine, and if flagrant, to ejection."
There is nothing AUTOMATIC about an ejection. The umpire must interpret the action and apply his judgement on an individual basis.
