I guess what I'd say is . . .
I can't remember every REALLY arguing with my mask ON.
An umpire knows WHEN to take that cage off . . . I mean it would be REALLY rare to dump someone without first taking off your mask.
Now maybe I am just too Politically insensitive but . . .
IF I was headed to the bench to quiet it down (mask off)
If I had a hitter RETURN to the dish to continue an argument about a strike call (mask off)
If I had a base coach head down the line to ask a question (mask on)
While I agree with some of what Jim Porter has said I think in "Big Boy Ball" you sometimes need to clearly establish that you are in charge (some could say, "Intimidate").
