We get that you hate Harper as well. Harper did not act like an idiot. We have an umpire that wanted to be the star of the show so he acts like a big baby and gets into it with one of the biggest stars of the game
And we get it: Harper is your hetero man crush.

Did he or did he not step into the box after the ump told him to?

Perfect. Both parties were wrong. Period.

Reading is hard.

Problem is: an ump can't toss a player for failing to get back in the box. Ump has to first "warn" the player by giving the player a (penalty) strike for delaying the game. So that's why ultimately the ump is wrong. And that's why the ump tried to cover his a** in his post game media comments, saying that he did not toss Harper for failing to get back in the box (because if the ump admitted to that, he would be admitting he broke the rules).

So is your comprehension. Saying someone does something does not make it true. So yeah I guess reading is hard

What would happen as a result of them doing that? Ejections? Fines? suspension? I don't know baseball, but I assume intentionally beaming the ump is frowned upon. So what would come of it?

You have consistently said Harper showed up the umpire or "Harper being Harper". That is acting like an idiot which he did not

I get what you're saying but obviously this can be debated until people are blue in the face.
Harper doesn't show up the ump = Harper doesn't get ejected.
That's the end game.

I actually took it the same way. Harper was trying to show up the ump and was acting like a little defiant kid. He deserved to be tossed.

You couldn't do the equivalent of what Harper did in any other sport without drawing some kind of technical or personal foul.

I don't understand why it is a mutually exclusive event for the ump to do something wrong, and see why he did it. God damn. It's like talking to three year olds.

I see why he got tossed
The pointing at the box and wording what looked like "that box? That box???" sure didn't help.

Exactly. Just pointing out that he did do something besides stepping out of the box doesn't necessarily mean you have to agree with the actions of the umpire up until that point.
ETA: It's really no different than his ejection last week. Umpire should have asked for help on the check swing, didn't, and called Harper out himself. Harper argued and was tossed. Even though he had a point it doesn't mean he shouldn't have been ejected.
