I agree but usually when a HC is charges onto the field it is for the following reasons: (a) A player has become seriously injured; (b) To help quell a bench clearing brawl, (I have never had that happen in either a baseball or softball game yet, knock on my head, but have had it happen once in basketball.); or (c) To vehemently argue a call that an umpire has made. And (c) falls under the sportsmanlike rule and as you said can be either a minor offense or it can be the type where the HC buys the whole enchilada.
