Tough to say for sure on the Russell Martin ejection because of how the video was edited, but it kind of looked like Carapazza decided to engage Martin when he was walking away just prior to tossing him.

To be fair we can't see what Martin said before that, plus after the hook it looks like Carapazza said "I warned you."

Catching for 13 innings? Can't blame Martin if he was just ready to call it a day.

True. What's also not shown in the video is his reaction to a previous pitch in the at bat being called a strike.

I don't know if there's a pattern, but I recall Martin getting tossed by Iassogna while he was catching a couple years back arguing balls and strikes, and that also was a so-called "quick hook." It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that he'd say the magic words pretty fast.
