that is the difference between an amatuer umpire and a professional one. The amatuer automatically ejects...pretty easy to do and doesn't require much thought. Professional umpires are paid to think about the situation, analyze and then determine the appropriate action. You think like an amateur umpire and that may be ok at the level(s) of games that you work. However, cb is a mlb umpire who is paid a lot of money to think before he reacts. In my opinion, he handled that situation in amateur like manner... Which is not expected from a mlb umpire.

you wouldn't make it through the minors with that attitude.
