MLBUM 2.19: Throwing equipment in protest of call
Any player throwing equipment in disgust of an umpire's call shall be reported and subject to fine, and if flagrant, to ejection. The offender is to be notified that he is being reported for an equipment violation.

[QUOTE=cc6;595490Also, thrown equipment is an automatic ejection in the mlb.[/QUOTE]

Hmmm, I did not know that. I guess those guys are really blowing it out there, because I see a ton on hammered helmets after bang-bangs at first.

That augerred baseball by the catcher was just general frustration. He didn't turn to the umpire and do it.

And as some else pointed out, no they can't. I think people are confusing post-game discipline handed out by the league based on an umpire's report or something similar with the NCAA's rules on post-game ejections.

I am being grouped with Tim C., San Diego Steve, Ozzy, Brian Curtin, RichMSN, MrUmpire, and Bob Jenkins?

That's quite a compliment. I never thought I would have earned such an honor at this point in my career!

Back to the topic: So the PU handled it poorly? What would you have liked? Toss him after the game (contrary to OBR) for throwing something (also not a rule)? Maybe then he should have told Lou, "game's over, I'm not listening to you, and your catcher is ejected."

Perhaps the catcher saw the safe sign, was ticked that his team lost, and slammed the ball because he was frustrated.

If the ump did anything it would probably be an equipment violation for slamming the ball.

It was a good call and there will probably no argument at the home plate meeting tonite.

Is that a technical foul or is it a flag for Unsportsmanlike Conduct?
