Minor League Baseball manager Rafael Valenzuela is not known to many baseball fans, but he surely made a name for himself this week due to his behavior.
Valenzuela is going incredibly viral following an epic tirade during a minor league game.
The High-A Bowling Green Hot Rods of the Midwest League had a game this week that Rafael Valenzuela got ejected from due to him arguing with the umpire.
He was not going to let the umpire get away with ejecting him without him hearing about it.
Valenzuela, who is in the second-year skipper for the Bowling Green Hot Rods of the Tampa Bay Rays, got an early shower and decided to come out and argue balls and strikes.
Soon after his conversation, Rafael Valenzuela began to kick dirt over the home plate and toward the umpire.
He would then head off to the dugout and grab a trash can.

He brought it out and slammed it near the feet of the umpire while pointing at him and then to the trash can to remind him of what he thought of him and his calls.
Rafael Valenzuela would eventually leave the field, but without the trash can.
The umpire signaled to one of the bat boys to come over and remove that trash can so the game could continue.
When it was all said and done, the Bowling Green Hot Rods would lose the game, 4-8.
Their record would drop to 31-16 on the year.
Despite Rafael Valenzuela being ejected, he has done a good job with the team as the team remains in first place in the South Atlantic League South, per Milb.com.
In fact, they have the best record overall, as no other teams have reached 30 wins yet.
