It has been a frustrating past few weeks for the Detroit Tigers — having lost 11 of their last 13 contests.
On Monday night, the frustration boiled over for manager Brad Ausmus.
After posting an eight-run first inning against the Minnesota Twins, the Tigers all but let the lead slip away by the middle innings.
Nick Castellanos struck out on a questionable call in the bottom of the fourth, prompting a fed up Ausmus to leave the dugout. By questioning the balls and strikes, he was tossed. But Ausmus was going to get his money’s worth…and then some.
He unleashed a verbal tirade toward home plate umpire Doug Eddings. Lucky for us, some mic at Comerica Park caught the one-sided conversation.
Cover your ears, kids.
Brad Ausmus absolutely lost his mind on the home plate umpire – and they forgot to cut off the on field mics… pic.twitter.com/9ZCKiOLOxF

Then, continuing to take a page from Lou Pinella or Billy Martin, Ausmus removed his sweatshirt and covered the plate with it.
Brad Ausmus has officially lost his mind!
