Why is everyone hung up on him taking his mask off?


Because he then yelled at a player for not being in the box that through his actions had caused the delay for the player to leave the box.

This is pretty standard for umps to do even if it's just a basic conversation with a manager/ump.


Do umps always engage a manager in the dugout who is bitching about a bad call?

So what? Was there any moment where Harper motioned for him to put his mask on and THEN he would get back in the box? No, he pointed at it for some reason, and then did the thing.

Do we know what the ump actually said to Harper?

They at least tell them to shut the hell up. You'll usually see the manager get a warning glare, then the mask will come off and a finger is pointed. If it keeps up, then it's on. Umps don't ignore that crap. I don't know where everyone is getting that he should.
