Max Scherzer Screams, Swears At Nationals' Manager On The Mound [VIDEO]

Max Scherzer is a fiery guy. Detroit Tigers fans saw that during his time in the Motor City -- most notably in Game 4 of the 2013 Division Series against the Oakland Athletics.
His attitude was on full display on Friday night, when Washington Nationals manager Matt Williams walked out to meet with Scherzer on the mound during a seventh-inning jam.
Max was having none of it -- and the cameras caught just how upset he was about Williams coming out to the mound.
Lip readers can probably figure out that his expletive-filled words for Williams included, "I f---- want it," or something to that effect.
Scherzer would go on to get out of the jam with the score remaining 2-2, but his actions caused quite a stir on social media.
Lip readers know this: Max Scherzer wanted to stay in the game last night when Matt Williams came to the mound. http://t.co/GZKQNj2Mcb

Brad Ausmus on Max Scherzer: "That's just Max. Max has done that with me. When he wants to stay in, he's very emphatic about it."

Some people even pointed out that as you see Scherzer enter the Nationals' dugout after getting out of the inning he acknowledges everyone who comes up to congratulate him, except Williams....
