The message is sent loud enough to the offending player, his coaches, and his teammates. I don't care if your partner is a pussy, you don't need to let everyone else know YOU think he's a pussy too. And if you do choose to make a scene over an ejection that your partner should have made, be prepared to make the rest of his calls for the day, because whatever little respect both teams might have had for your partner just went out the window.

I definitely am not advocating making a scene... but a kid throwing equipment doesn't deserve the stealth ejection either, regardless of whether the proper umpire makes it.
