The San Diego Padres have now won six straight games but the news is tempered by ace pitcher Nick Pivetta landing on the injured list with elbow inflammation.
Marty Caswell, Darren Smith and Heath Bell discuss Craig Stammen's comments on his injury. Heath explains why Pivetta is going to miss at least 4-6 weeks, if not more. The show then discusses how much Pivetta's possible opt-out at the end of the season could affect his course of action.
The Padres now have the third best record in baseball without getting real production from Manny Machado or Fernando Tatis. What's been the biggest difference?
Darren and Marty then discuss whether the Padres can sign free agent pitcher Lucas Giolito versus whether they should. The duo jumps into Luis Campusanos' candid comments on why not giving an F has helped his production at the plate.
