Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker was ejected during a game against the Houston Astros on August 1, 2026. The incident followed home plate umpire Todd Tichenor's controversial strike call against Nicky Diaz, which ended the seventh inning. 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.
