I have been wondering the same thing.

But really, would anyone eject a catcher for throwing the ball to the ground, or any fielder for throwing his glove or hat to the ground after a game ending play in which they lost on that play, at any level?

I suppose these same people, if they exist, would eject a batter for pounding the end of his bat in the ground after striking out swinging at a bad pitch, or would eject a pitcher for throwing his glove into the dugout while he is walking into the dugout after being relieved after giving up a game changing home run.

I think the umpire in the video handled everything exactly as I hope I would given the same circumstances.
