Madison Bumgarner is as famous for his redassery as his World Series wins back in the day with the Giants, so when he gets chapped about something, he’s gonna let you know about it.
Such was the case today when, after just one inning pitched, Bumgarner said something to the home plate umpire and was immediately tossed. That’s when he LOST IT on the ump and had to be held back by teammates:

More coming if there are details.
UPDATE: All right, so it may have been related to the hand check for sticky stuff, but not in the way you would expect. This footage maybe gives you an idea of what ticked Bumgarner off, and what he might have said before getting tossed:
