If you think the Detroit Tigers don't care about the 2017 season anymore, you are wrong.

Here's proof: While Aroldis Chapman was warming up, the TV broadcast switched over to Miguel Cabrera throwing haymakers on Austin Romine at the plate. He's the brother of Tigers utility man Andrew Romine.

Chapman came into the game because the previous pitcher, Tommy Kahnle, had been ejected for throwing behind Miguel Cabrera.

According to Jason Beck of MLB.com, "Watching replay, Cabrera said something to Austin Romine, Romine yelled back, Cabrera shoved him, and they went at it." What the heck did he say?

Cabrera and Romine have both been ejected from the game according to Beck.
