He should have been tossed with no regard to the inning or what happens later. He did it to himself. Get rid of him and teach him to keep his mouth shut next time.

Perfect example. A few years ago I ended up dumping a manager at the plate conference because a weak umpire failed to take care of the problem the game prior.
Managers comment as lineups are exchanged "Glad I don't have those idiots who cost us ...". He never finished the sentence or saw a pitch. At that point I had no knowledge of the last game as it was played on a different field.
Related later by other PU: Steal play at 2B, throw beat runner but very lazy/late tag & called safe. Next pitch base hit to put other team ahead for good. Manager came out & had words with BU that should have led to ejection (Very profane & personal). He had been riding the PU about his strike zone all game.
