It’s hard to find fewer who play the game of baseball with more passion and heart than Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler. The Tigers’ recipient for the “Heart & Hustle” Award in 2017 is also no exception when it comes to voicing himself on the field, particularly towards an umpire.

On Monday in the first of three games against the Texas Rangers, Kinsler had a rough go at the plate, specifically with the balls and strikes called by home plate umpire Angel Hernandez. The former Rangers second baseman was beefing at times in his first two at-bats, but s**t hit the fan in his third at-bat.

Watch as Kinsler turns to say something before Hernandez gives him the heave-ho, mid-at-bat no less.

Now, we aren’t quite sure what Kinsler said to get tossed, but there has been some pretty strong guesses as to the words he uttered to Hernandez post-ejection.

It was the low point — or perhaps the high point, depending on your taste — for another Tigers defeat. The 6-2 loss to the Rangers on Monday was their second straight and eighth in their last ten games.
