So it appears Rizzo was thrown out for yelling from the 3rd level and because he had been yelling the whole series. Also, not by West, but another umpire. West, however, did stop the game so he could go into the dugout to call security to have Rizzo removed. While not as ridiculous as originally speculated, still incredibly ridiculous and an embarrassment to MLB and their umpires.

Everything I read today said it was because he was yelling at the umps, I didn’t see anything about it being about not wearing a mask.

 

Fake news running rampant...

 

 

 

They surmised on the TV broadcast that this is why he was tossed. I don't know if this is West actually saying "he doesn't have his mask on" but that's probably where it started:

 

"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Not to defend West but teams know umps will not take a lot of verbal crap from them. Players and management are not fans and should show some amount of respect for everyone working in these times. Umps usually take some guff before throwing someone out so I doubt it was simply one or to words spoken. A GM should know better that to say anything at all let alone enough to be told to leave.
There needs to be a King Thames version of the bible.
