Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus probably wasn’t in the mood for questionable calls going against the Tigers after Detroit’s pitching staff threw away an 8-0 lead on Monday night to the American League-worst Minnesota Twins.
With the game at 8-7 in the bottom of the fourth inning, home plate umpire Doug Eddings called Tigers third baseman Nick Castellanos out on an inside pitch to end the frame.
A livid Ausmus proceeded to get into a wild argument with Eddings. Once he was done, Ausmus ripped off his hoodie and draped it over home palte.
Fox Sports North’s on-field microphones caught some of Ausmus’s tirade, and it was just a bit explicit, as you might expect.

Detroit completely lost their lead in the top of the seventh after a J.D. Martinez error allowed Byung-Ho Park to score and tie the game at eight. But in the bottom of the frame, the Tigers took a 9-8 lead thanks to a solo home run from…Nick Castellanos, of course.
