Nick Pivetta concerns, Padres' Fernando Tatis motivation

What a newsy weekend it was for the San Diego Padres following their four-game sweep over the Colorado Rockies.

From the Padres slugging nine home runs in the series, Luis Campusano's five-game hitting streak, Ramon Laureano surging in the leadoff role to losing Jeremiah Estrada with elbow tendonitis, there was no shortage of topics.

Marty Caswell and Darren Smith discuss the concerns over Nick Pivetta exiting the game with elbow stiffness, and the best options to replace him in the rotation. We hear from Pivetta on his injury and why he's not putting any sort of timetable on his next step.

The two then discuss the real motivation with Craig Stammen using their platinum-glove outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr at second base. We hear from Tatis on why the baseball gods are mad at him and the merits of leaving him at second base if he continues to flourish offensively.
