Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. got heated in the dugout as the San Diego Padres took on the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday.

When you’re fighting for your playoff hopes, the last thing a team wants to see is teammates also fighting in the dugout.

The Padres and Cardinals are pursuing the same wildcard spot, so it makes sense that tensions are high. Still, visibly disagreeing like that is never a good sign.

It’ll take togetherness for San Diego to keep their playoff hopes alive. That dugout was anything but together on Saturday night.
