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.
