I’m mad now that I dropped him for some reason while I was injury stashing him.

My starting pitching is so good though that I’ll be fine.

Tough though cause you can only injury stash so many. I gave up on Jackson for that reason. Didn’t want to but had 7 guys injured at the time. I saw you picked him up immediately

He’s been pretty good so far for me. I’m just so stacked with middle infielders that I’ve been trying to trade him to help fix my problem in the outfield if possible.

So…umm…if anyone’s interested… :grin:

Not Tigers related but is there a trade deadline in this category league we play in?

August 6 trade deadline

I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t let me set it any closer to the actual MLB trade deadline than that.

I missed this from Friday’s game but did see him throw the guard towards Dingler.

Naylor, though, was carrying his sliding glove in his right hand and just as he started his head-first slide, he threw the glove into Dingler as he was trying to catch the throw and apply the tag.

Naylor was called safe and it was upheld after video review.

“I didn’t see that,” Dingler said of the sliding glove. “I didn’t know what happened in real time. I didn’t see it until someone brought it up on the iPad in the dugout.”

On Friday night, Naylor collided with rookie Kevin McGonigle at first base. Naylor easily could’ve flipped the ball to pitcher Bryan Woo, who was at the bag in plenty of time.

Instead, he opted to run to the bag himself, taking an angle that put him directly in McGonigle’s path.

“Naylor was the bigger vehicle coming into first base,” Hinch said Friday night. “He took an angle betting on winning the collision.”

Again, not illegal, not classy.

“We just play our ball,” said Keith. “That play yesterday was tough when you hit one of our best players. It’s tough to see. But we need to just go out and play our ball and play hard, just like he is. But play the right way.”

When Naylor came to bat again in the top of the fifth inning Saturday, Montero drilled him on the back of the shoulder with a 96-mph sinker. Naylor took it well, like he understood that was the price to pay.
He even laughed as he looked back at Montero and tapped Dingler on the shoulder before going to first base.

“That was for yesterday,” Naylor said, referencing the collision with McGonigle. “(Framber) Valdez was pointing and laughing at me on the bench. So I knew it was on purpose.”

Montero said it was unintentional.

“I was trying to attack him in a few pitches,” Montero said through interpreter Carlos Guillen. “It was a sinker in and it moved too far in and got him. It was the circumstances of the game. It wasn’t anything unsportsmanlike.”

Montero, who reiterated that he wasn’t trying to hit Naylor, said, “It’s part of his game. He’s always laughing and doing stuff. I don’t mind that. That’s his playing style. I’ve got nothing to say about that. Everybody has their own individual playing style.”

Nobody was laughing on the next play when Naylor slid in hard and through the bag and into Torres on a 6-4-3 double-play ball.

“You are not supposed to slide through the bag,” Hinch said. “It’s 2026. Gleyber took exception to getting hit.”

Hinch, at least publicly, didn’t seem bothered by Naylor’s shenanigans.

“I almost had to remind myself what era we’re playing in,” he said. "That (the hard slide) was normal back in the day. We’re just not back in the day. Because it’s unusual now, that’s when you see some of the frustration come out on both sides. That style was how we played when I was growing up. It’s not how you play in 2026.

It wasn’t even a collision. They slightly brushed each other. I miss slides taking out 2nd basemen and catchers getting run the ■■■■ over. Baseball has got real soft.

Skubal 9pitches 9 strikes.
97mph velocity
Every opposing hitter is up there swinging so not sure how much effective work he is getting in. Goal is to get 75 pitches and live action vs simulated.
Wants to make some throws to first, to second things you can’t do in sim game. Not sure that will happen vs high A hitters
