“Oh, we’re playing *this* ballgame today, huh?” - Josh Naylor, after getting intentionally hit by a pitch What a hypocrite, man. He’s aware he started this, right?

There is very, very little that can ever justify a pitch to the head area. That is seriously dangerous and the faster this weak shit is removed from the game, the better the game will be for it. Are you guys being fucking serious here?

I don’t condone hitting anyone in the head. They threw at his shoulder, which is where it hit him.

Wow! It’s a good thing he didn’t miss a few inches higher then!!!

Naylor assumed those same risks when he intentionally trucked into McGonigle the night before

get for fucking real man. That entire play was produced by a careless failure of judgement and he assumed he’d run over the bag before McGonigle got there. He was obviously wrong. Let’s respond with senseless violence!

@Miggysbat So he didn’t just flip it for the easy out to make the play waaaaaaaay closer, and caused an unnecessary collision that only wasn’t a disaster because McGonigle avoided it, because of an error in judgement? No Naylor is just a hall of fame piece of shit

@Miggysbat No, this is just your low intellect speaking. He’s obviously not trying to run into Kevin on purpose. Think logically for a moment, would you?

You guys are upset about a fairly normal play at first and a slide? Come on lol

“fairly normal play” and “slide” is so dismissive and reductive lol Take the blinders off, man. We both know what he was trying to do on both of those plays. And that’s why he’s smiling after the HBP; he knew it was warranted.

He beat Kevin to the bag and slide into home. At worst he was trying to distract Dingler with the mitt. For a fanbase that cheers for a Detroit team, y’all a bunch of pussies.

@Miggysbat He consciously crossed the baseline when he could have easily stayed inside the line and given the runner the path he was on. It was deliberate. It was dirty.

@Miggysbat He would’ve had to slow up to do that..

@Miggysbat He had a clear path to the inside of the bag. He would not have had to slow down. Or, better yet, throw to the fucking pitcher covering. He chose the option that most likely ends in a collision.

@Miggysbat Why risk throwing the ball away or the pitcher dropping the ball when you can carry the ball and tag the base removing all doubt? This would be like Mariner fans being made at Mcgonigle for running so hard on a grounder to first base. Stop being soft

Y’all employ Framber and wanna complain about dirty players lol

Trust me, we’re already indifferent at best about him

You're mad that your guys threw at Naylor and he laughed it off? Embarrassing dude.

Well, you either (A) didn’t watch yesterday and today’s game or (B) completely missed the point.

You know if my starting pitcher was Framber Valdez, the most notorious bitch in the league, who actually injured one of our guys yesterday, I would be a bit more self aware. McGonigle is still in the game, JP is actually hurt.

Thank you for completely deflecting to something else and proving my point. 👍

No team who employs Framber should ever say a damn thing about anyone. Especially the day after he knocks JP Crawford out. Stop crying already please I’m embarassed for you

Yeah....the appropriate response is a pitch off the helmet. Jackass.

Well it sure is a good thing that’s not where it hit him!

Watch the video and listen to the audio. You clearly hear it hit the shoulder and deflect off the helmet. Which is understandable because the two are literally inches apart.

@Miggysbat Not really sure if YOU watched the video bc the ball clearly doesn’t deflect off the helmet

@SkubalsChangeup @Miggysbat I guess every shot to the shoulder has the hollow sound of hard plastic. Listen to the audio.

I agree but hitting in the helmet is never the move.

It hit him in the shoulder. I do agree/wish the pitch had been lower, it would’ve served exactly the same message.

@JeffDye Why are so many Seattle fans so rude for literally zero reason? Almost every single one of you come out firing with unwarranted insults 😂

@HomerHater206 @JeffDye And that’s fine, but there’s a distinct difference between standing up for your teams’ players and immediately making it personal by resorting to name-calling, hope this helps 👍

If a catcher can’t concentrate with a damn sliding mitt at his feet he doesn’t deserve to be a big leaguer don’t be mad when we throw 100+ at Mcgonigles head 😂😂

I like how you’re conveniently leaving out the part where he sought out a collision with McGonigle at first base last night. Y’know, most of the reason they threw at him in the first place.

And we have pitchers who throw a lot harder than 97 lol get ready Kevin

@Miggysbat "lol" can tell youre like 15 yrs old. real mature wanting them to throw at someone who was the victim of idiocy.

@Miggysbat Go watch Timmy fatass 😂

Doesn't matter what kind of ball game it is, y'all are losers. Lost this game, lost the ALDS, and you're about to lose your one good player.

Detroit apparently has the softest fan base in sports. Enjoy spending the next 2 months speculating where your best players will be traded when they blow up this train wreck of a team lol.

Yeah, you already tweeted this to me.

Your team is fucking soft. What a disgrace

@ap804 People in these comments don’t know that Naylor is a famously dirty player. If he can’t take it, he needs to stop dishing it. I hope his shoulder hurts.

This is the type of mentality that makes Detroit the type of baseball team that is 13 games from .500 at the very beginning of June. Just OOZING weakness.

If a player facing the Mariners sought out a collision at first base base and attempted to interfere with the Mariner catchers’ tag attempt by throwing his baserunning equipment in the way the very next day, you’d be reacting the exact same way; we don’t need to pretend otherwise. 👍

Naylor is such a good sport. More baseball players need to aspire to be like him. The Tigers are an example of a losing team with a losing attitude. I feel sorry for Tigers fans

Tigers and their fanbase are a bunch of bitch asses. That’s saying something as myself are a Mariners fan. Enjoy that L today.

There’s no way you’re this soft

Tigers fans are so lame. Enjoy the bottom of the AL

Soo.. you're just choosing to ignore Framber intentionally hitting J.P. Crawford then?

This Tigers fan base is softer than puppy shit. Was a pitch to Naylors back warranted? Probably. Into the shoulder/neck? Fuuxk no. I would expect nothing less from a team that employs Framber…

Started what??? Lmao pitcher is lucky hes not taking a forced nap rn.

The sliding mitt throw was a bush league play. Umps even knew it that’s why Montero didn’t get ejected after he threw at him.

That was well deserved

What I'm confused about is why they substituted Jahmai Jones for Kerry Carpenter? That's a straight downgrade.

You sound upset. Naylor did nothing to justify a throw at the head area. Y'all soft?

Muncy and Vargas collided at first base a few days ago and you don’t see dodgers or Dbacks fans crying saying the play was dirty, this is just loser mentality LOL

You guys are so soft lmao

No, wrong. That was at his head. Never acceptable.

The run to first wasnt a bad blood move he just though he could beat him and tried to avoid him as much as possible the mitt throw i didnt understand but throwing 97 towards his head is bush league bs..go ahead and plunk him if youre trying to retaliate but hit a hip or ribs..🗑

F that guy 🎯

Wahhhh wahhhh wahhh

This is hilarious…really using the sliding mitt and a close play at first to justify throwing at his head. Okay Benson lol
