Brad Ausmus won't leave without a fight.
Hours after sounding off to the media regarding his job security, the Detroit Tigers manager put on a show following his fourth-inning ejection Monday against the Minnesota Twins.
Shortly after he was tossed by Doug Eddings for arguing balls and strikes, Ausmus unleashed an expletive-laden tirade before removing his sweatshirt and leaving it over home plate.
Ausmus' frustrations were somewhat understandable. The Tigers jumped out to an early 8-0 lead in the first inning, only to have the Twins score eight unanswered runs of their own to tie up the game. Detroit eventually won 10-8 after a pair of late home runs by Nick Castellanos and J.D. Martinez.
