Harper continues yapping and shows him up by pointing to the box as if to say "what, that box?" then tip toeing up to it. Umpire runs him.
In the ump's defense, I've never seen a batter point at something specific and not get tossed. Seems like the IRL version of calling an ump a cock sucker. Argue a call a few inches out all you want. But point to where you think the pitch was, and you're probably gone.

That's all I'm saying. It doesn't mean the umpire was right in what he did up to that point, but there was much more to it than what is shown in the clip in the op and much more than just stepping out of the box as the idiot announcer made it sound like.
