"If you want to see the rule, you can go to the dugout and read the rule book after you're ejected". "Okay, leave it out. But if you're hit by a pitch, in my judgement, unless the ball hit you in the helmet or your legs, your flopping shirt was the place you were hit, and that means you don't get 1B".
As much as I believe 9.01.(c) is misused by many umpires, I would invoke that rule in this instance.
