HBP Warning?

Bulldog 195,000+ posts

Why do umpires even warn the teams if they aren't gonna back it up? In the video below, 3 batters are hit and another one comes close. The warning came after the close call and 2 batters were hit after that. If it has to be "intentional" for the pitcher to get ejected, why wait? Why not start with the first one? Otherwise, if you warn the teams and a batter gets hit it should be automatic ejection..
