Maybe that absolute power is corrupting you. You may have the right to do this, but that doesn't necessarily make it the right thing to do.
An overly-officious application of the absolute power of UC

Silly? Yes! But clearly within the scope of any rule that is both absolute and at the umpire's whim. It's not an example of any documented interpretation, or conventional practice, or a recommended way to handle this. And neither is an ejection for carelessly discarding a bat in an OBR game.
