Why do the umpires eject mangers during baseball games?
Usually it's for arguing with the umpire.
Addition:
Managers will also get thrown out immediately if a pitcher is ejected from a game for intentionally throwing at a batter.

What is the term '643 double play' or 462 or whatever it is that they say before a double play?

Pitcher is 1; catcher, 2; first baseman, 3; second baseman, 4; third baseman, 5; shortstop, 6; left field, 7; center field, 8; right field, 9. Therefore, a "6-4-3 double play" refers to (usually) a ground ball to the shortstop (6), who throws to the second baseman (4) for one out, who then throws to the first baseman (3) for the second out. You can have any combination of numbers for a double or triple play depending upon how many players handle the ball!
