The routine arrives with confidence.
Skip Schumaker’s tirade was put on pause for “God Bless America.” He respected the flag, but not the umpire’s call. The Astros scored four runs after the ejection, sealing the win. Schumaker’s argument was brief, but the pause was priceless. It’s not every day you see a manager’s tantrum interrupted by patriotism.
