Skip Schumaker ejected after classy argument during game
Summary

Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker was ejected during a game against the Houston Astros on August 1, 2026.

Schumaker interrupted his argument to honor the playing of 'God Bless America', then resumed discussions with Tichenor before being ejected. As a result, he watched the Rangers' eventual 7-3 loss from the clubhouse. The Rangers dropped the series and face increased pressure as they chase a playoff spot.
