US EditionFreeman, Schaeffer ejected in the third inning of Colorado's game at Milwaukee
- During the third inning of the Colorado Rockies' game against the Milwaukee Brewers on June 29, 2025, in Milwaukee, interim manager Warren Schaeffer and outfielder Tyler Freeman were thrown out.
- The ejections occurred after a disputed called third strike against Freeman, which led to heated exchanges with the umpire behind the plate and prompted Schaeffer to leave the dugout and confront the official.
- Schaeffer got down on one knee near home plate to show he thought the pitch was low, then spiked his gum and hat in the dirt before being ejected.
- The Rockies won the game 4-3 in 11 innings, improving their record to 19-65, with postgame notes highlighting Schaeffer's fiery response as a turning point and Freeman calling his ejection undeserved.
- This game marked Schaeffer’s first MLB managerial ejection and continued gradual team improvement since he replaced Bud Black on May 11, although the Rockies remain MLB’s worst-ranked team.
