Temper tantrum alert.

Pitcher Kyle Freeland started the game for the Rockies but didn’t last very long on the mound. He went 4+ innings and allowed five earned runs. He was pretty upset when manager Bud Black pulled him and his anger continued in the dugout. Freeland sat on the bench, then a few minutes later decided to go absolutely ballistic.

He repeatedly slammed a bat into the roof of the dugout before throwing it while screaming. It was quite a scene.

Watch below:

MLB meltdowns are always a blast.

So far this season, the 29-year-old lefty is 4-7 with a 4.96 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP over 101.2 innings in 18 starts. So, yeah, it’s been a frustrating season.
