Summary

James Seltzer and Jack Fritz are back as Jack takes a victory lap on Aaron Altherr's Friday night and the rest of the Marlins series. The outrage over the pulling of Kingery is absurd, Pivetta's curveball and Eflin getting back to using his fastball. Also, the guys talk about Harper and Machado being linked to the Phils this past week.  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
