Pete Abraham @peteabe · 7h It's been a long, tedious game. But that's no excuse for that called third strike on Verdugo.

Red Sox Stats @redsoxstats · 7h NESN just showed JD looking at an ipad, this year they only have archived video, which had led to complaints from JD, Scherzer, etc.
Rosenthal wrote yesterday that next year the ipads will be updated in-game with catcher signs edited out.

Red Sox @ Marlins Thursday 17th September 2020 1pm @ Marlins Park
Eovaldi 2-2/ 4.82
Threw 3 solid innings in his return vs the Rays.
Urena 0-1/7.71
Has allowed 9 runs in 9ip since coming off the IL, and has issued 7 walks in those 2 starts.
Surprising Marlins look to take series from Red Sox FLM
The Boston Red Sox and the host Miami Marlins will conclude their three-game series with the rubber match on Thursday afternoon at Marlins Park.
Boston won the opener 2-0 on Tuesday. Miami won Wednesday's game 8-4.
On Thursday, it will be a battle of right-handers as Miami will start Jose Urena (0-1, 7.71 ERA). Boston will counter with former Marlins pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 4.82).
Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro, who slugged two homers on Wednesday, is not expected to catch Thursday. Alfaro was removed in the seventh inning of Wednesday's game after he took a foul ball off his mask, and he has had concussion issues in the past.
Chad Wallach is expected to replace Alfaro on Thursday. Interestingly, Urena's ERA when Alfaro catches him is 6.04 in 19 games. Urena's ERA in four games caught by Wallach is much better at 4.30.
This will be Urena's third career start against Boston. So far, he has no record but a solid 3.46 ERA.
Urena, 29, has spent most of this season on the injured list. In his two appearances, covering 9 1/3 innings, Urena has allowed nine hits, seven walks and eight earned runs. He has struck out just four batters and could be in danger of losing his rotation spot if he doesn't turn things around quickly.
Eovaldi, 30, went 13-27 in two-plus seasons with the Marlins. Miami traded him to the New York Yankees in December 2014, and Eovaldi went on to help Boston win the 2018 World Series.
In his career against the Marlins, Eovaldi is 0-1 with a 7.82 ERA in three starts. He is also 6-15 with a 4.43 ERA in 34 starts at Marlins Park, his former home stadium.
This season, the Red Sox are 4-3 when Eovaldi starts. However, he missed about one month due to a right calf injury, returning to pitch three innings -- allowing one run -- last Saturday at Tampa Bay.
"I felt a grab," Eovaldi said of his initial injury. "I thought I would be out a day or two."
It turned out to be much longer than that, but the Red Sox are grateful he's back now.
Both teams are also expected to get their standout center fielders back in the lineup -- Jackie Bradley Jr. for Boston and Starling Marte for Miami.
Marte has sparked the Marlins since they acquired him on Aug. 31 from the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 16 games since the trade, Marte has produced a .772 OPS, three homers and 11 RBIs.
"I hate taking him out of the lineup," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said of Marte. "But he's a little beat up. He has a collateral damage from all those games (seven in five days) against the (Philadelphia Phillies)."
The surprising Marlins, who are in second place in the National League East -- one year removed from losing 105 games -- are feeling pretty confident. In fact, this is the first time the Marlins have been in a playoff race this late in a season since they won the World Series in 2003.
Garrett Cooper, now in his third season with the Marlins, talked about the feeling on the team after he slugged a two-run homer on Wednesday.
"The past few years have been a struggle, but this is a fun group," Cooper said. "This year is something special."

Alex Speier @alexspeier · 6m Roenicke didn’t commit definitively to a schedule for Pivetta, but asked if he’s a strong possibility for a Tuesday start, said, ‘You guys have it figured out pretty good.’ (Tuesday would also allow him to start the season finale on 9/27.)

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 12m Replying to @billkoch25 Roenicke said Darwinzon Hernandez could have a chance to be activated over the next couple days. #RedSox
Roenicke said Rodriguez has yet to be cleared to start baseball activity. They're hoping he can resume a strength program over the next couple months. #RedSox
Coupled with earlier comments from Dave Bush, the #RedSox don't sound likely to give Rodriguez a full workload in 2021 -- 30 starts, 200 innings, etc. It's also his free agent walk year.
More questions regarding the Boston rotation, which has been short throughout 2020.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 9m The #RedSox have added Nick Yorke, their first-round pick in the 2020 draft, to the club player pool. Colten Brewer (right middle finger strain) remains on the 45-day IL and has been removed.
Boston's pool stays at 59.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 8m Nathan Eovaldi is through four strong innings. Couple of filthy splitters to notch strikeouts there. Mixing in 100 mph fastballs and looks in complete control. #RedSox
