If the scenario in the video played out in the men's game and I get hit (or it's remotely close), I'm ejecting F1 and probably F2. If F2 bails like in this video, I'm tossing both of them. Of course; no question.

Like all things in umpiring, circumstances dictate my response. The example I gave of being thrown at was a much less malicious act. It was a demonstration that he still had "some control" on his pitches after I quit giving him a rise ball strike that had crept up to the nipples...I was going to include that in my original response, but deleted it to stay on topic.
