Episode Description from the Publisher

More Josh Naylor theatrics and another step forward for Tarik Skubal. Today, Eno and DVR break down the latest chapter in the Josh Naylor-Detroit Tigers saga after the Mariners first baseman tossed his sliding mitt toward Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler during a play at the plate. They also discuss Skubal’s latest rehab start, the recent dominance of Bryce Miller and Michael Soroka, and wrap up the show with a look at where the money went in fantasy leagues over the weekend.Rundown:1:43 Tarik Skubal Fires Five Scoreless Frames3:24 Josh Naylor vs. Detroit: Another Interesting Chapter7:50 Bryce Miller Shoves15:36 League Shamed!
