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.


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.

I hope it was the 'magic words.'

The ump is there to call and control the game...not be the star. This guy didn't get that memo. Acted like an arse, and unnecessarily chased a player due to a situation he escalated. Is harper a saint...no...but he shouldn't have been tossed.

Well i look forward to a day when a manager can tell the ump to kick rocks and he doesn't retaliate by chasing a player.
