Two days after covering the plate in dirt, an amused Joe Girardi wiped it off per umpire request

On Saturday, the Yankees lost to the Rays, 9-5, in a game that saw Yankees manager Joe Girardi ejected by home-plate umpire Scott Barry -- but not before Girardi dumped dirt all over the plate as an exercise of his frustration. 
Two days later, Girardi and his Yankees were back in the Bronx for a game with the Royals. Prior to first pitch, Yankees coach Tony Pena presented the lineup cards and exchanged pleasantries with the umpiring crew at home plate: 

However, as seen atop this post, the umpires asked Girardi to come out of the dugout anyway. Not to talk about ground rules, but to allow him to clean off home plate -- as a sort of ceremonial (and amusing) act of closure after Saturday's events.

And the Yankees won on Monday, 4-2, over the Royals. All's well that ends well, right?
