Don’t let the final score of Sunday night’s Giants-Dodgers game fool you. Yes, the Dodgers pummeled their way to a 10-2 victory, but that doesn’t mean it was smooth night for Don Mattingly.
As you can see below, Mattingly unloaded on home plate umpire Clint Fagan in the top of the third inning, calling him a “minor league mother f—er” after a Brett Anderson pitch was called a ball:

In mattingly’s defense, he isn’t the first person who has wanted to curbstomp Fagan. Justin Upton had some issues with the guy in late May:

Though he too didn’t want to say whatever he had to say in Fagan’s face:

Come on guys, you’ve already been ejected. Just unload!
