You're right, Rita. I went back and looked at the play again, and he did look at him as he ran by.

What I also saw when I revisited the video was CB telling Davey Johnson, "I don't know why he threw it!" If he had taken a little more time to watch Harper as he went by, he might've surmised it was more out of frustration for hitting into the DP than out of anger at the umpire's call.
