It seems Pivetta and Alfaro got into today after that first go ahead homer. Pivetta had shook him off twice just before it. Then after the homer Pivetta refused to catch multiple balls Alfaro threw back to the mound, lol.
You can hear the announcers talking about it just after this two run homer: https://www.mlb.com/gameday/marlins-...os,game=531640

Cardinals currently beating the Dodgers 1-0, trying to avoid 4 game sweep at home. Rockies and Dodgers kick off a huge series in LA tomorrow. They're currently tied for first.
Meanwhile the Cardinals have a really tough last 4 series. @ Atlanta, home vs San Fran and Milwaukee, and end the season @ Cubs.
Looks like the wild card spots will come down to a battle between Milwaukee, St Louis, and whichever of the Dodgers or Rockies loses the NL West.
I really hope there is a 1-game playoff for the 2nd WC.

I kind of hope there isn't. I know this is getting a little too far down the rabbit hole, but think about it. If the Cubs get the 1 seed they'll be playing the winners of that wild card. If the wild card has to burn its top two starters before the start of the first round, the Cubs chances in that series become much better. I still think best case scenario for us would be facing the Rockies in the NLDS and then the Brewers in the NLCS.

What’s the probable starters looking like for the Red Sox/Braves WS matchup?..

Me too- I’d love to see Duvall get some starts and get going... a hot Duvall would be huge
With all the pitchers on the roster not doing anything, do teams ever play simulated games to get guys like Duvall and Duda some PAs that resemble game speed?
