Ian Kinsler ejected by overzealous ump bad at his job

Ian Kinsler earned an ejection for, apparently, throwing his bat toward home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez in the third inning. Or maybe he was just frustrated with himself after flying out with an opportunity to put the Tigers on the board.

Can't imagine why the ump might have thought the bat was intended for him. Oh, wait.
