Even that is not "automatic." Read the MLBUM quote you posted.

How many here would toss the catcher for this in a HS game?

Lou got an explanation. Didn't see him arguing.

And this says post-game ejection where, exactly? In MLB, one cannot be ejected after a game has ended.

Exactly: don't be a plumber.

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?

Now then, if yuu read the MLBUM, you'll find:

"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."

There is nothing AUTOMATIC about an ejection. The umpire must interpret the action and apply his judgement on an individual basis.

Not to mention that the MLBUM says nothing about an ejection being "post game," to which Canada also alluded.
