Yankees manager Joe Girardi called out Tigers skipper Brad Ausmus after todayโs UFC sanctioned baseball game that included eight player ejections and three bench clearing brawls.
Apparently Girardiโs problem with Ausmus stemmed from the Detroit manager yelling โFuck Youโ at Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner who was visibly upset during one of the meleeโs. โAnd then Brad Ausmus is going to say F-you to one of my players. I mean, come on Brad, what is that?โ Girardi told reporters.

Shit hit the fan in this game when Miguel Cabrera and Austin Romine threw down at home plate after words were exchanged. That eventually snowballed into two more incidents involving Tigers catcher James McCann getting hit in the head by Dellin Betances and Alex Wilson plunking Todd Frazier in the leg.
