Rangers Manager Ejected Over Missed Call | Texas Rangers News

Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker got ejected in a fiery seventh-inning showdown after an umpire called a third strike on Nicky Lopez that Statcast clearly showed was outside the zone — and the Rangers had no challenge left. With runners on and a key hitter due up, the missed call crushed their momentum. The drama escalated when hitting coach Justin Viele was ejected first, and both Schumaker and the umpire paused to take off their hats for “God Bless America” before the ejection — Schumaker kept arguing even after being tossed. The Rangers lost 7-3, adding to a rough week that saw them slip from first place. Heading home to face the Giants, the team’s future remains uncertain as the trade deadline looms — this ejection is just the latest sign of the turbulence they’re navigating.
