Marlins' Skip Schumaker Ejected After Irate Reaction to Giants' Bizarre Bullpen Move
Miami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker was ejected from Monday's game after he objected to a bizarre bullpen move from the opposing San Francisco Giants.
Late into Monday's game, the Giants were intending to bring on Camilo Doval to pitch, but after some sort of miscommunication, it was Tyler Rogers who walked out to the mound from the bullpen. That was seemingly not the plan, and San Francisco hastily got Doval ready and ushered him onto the rubber.
The umpires allowed all of this to occur, despite it taking quite a bit of time, resulting in some pushback from a confused and irate Schumaker, who gave home plate umpire Laz Diaz an earful.
Schumaker returned to the dugout without too much issue, but moments later was back out on the field and barking at the umps once again after appearing to try to receive communication about the count. He went a bit too far this time, and wound up getting himself ejected by Diaz.
Miami went on to lose 4–3, as the team's abysmal start to the season continues, now off to an NL-worst 3–14 start to the campaign.
