I see MLB EJ as just entertainment. Mainly b/c you don't know the entire conversation of what got the EJ. Also, once the ejected player/manager is done, none of us should be left to continue talking to him. Our partner should be escorting him immediately and no show to be seen.

To me, the only important part would be what was said/done to earn the EJ. That is the only useful part of the videos b/c everything after that is pure show. Such as the Crawford EJ video, for most of us, once the HC got ejected, he would be escorted away and the umpire would not be yelling back at him like that.

I like watching them just as much as the game. But, I don't see any real value in them. If any would be worth seeing, it would be College ones to see appropriate behavior and actions by the umpires. MLB EJ are entertainment, college/HS ones contain more valuable points.
