In the top of the 7th inning, the Tigers catcher is heard calmly reporting to the umpire, seemingly checking on the strike zone. "He's just calmly giving the umpire a report," the announcer notes, wondering if the umpire had asked the catcher to review some pitches. Later in the game, tensions escalate, leading to a dramatic ejection. The Tigers' hitting coach, whose name is not provided, can be heard yelling at the umpire, "You don't yell at me, that's [expletive] horseshit!" The umpire, named Scott, tries to de-escalate the situation, saying, "Now it's not worth it, it's not worth it," but the coach continues his tirade, using an exaggerated accent to mock the umpire. Throughout the exchange, the announcer provides commentary, noting the unusual nature of the hot mic moments. "I don't know, I thought those were kind of interesting and there's some hot mics," he says, before promoting the sponsor, "Kicks Under Cost on Twitter, go give them a follow, find out some nice deals, up your shoe game, have some fun." a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes interactions between players, coaches and umpires, providing fans with a rare opportunity to hear the unfiltered emotions and communication that often occurs during the heat of a game.
