Weekend Recap

(This is the audio-only version of this show. While we had our share of technical issues on YouTube today, as always you can watch the unedited version of this show on MartyTimeTV by clicking here. You can also find this show and all shows on ApplePodcasts and Spotify) Many things happened in local sports this past weekend. Not only did the Padres sweep the Rockies, but they supplied plenty of subplots as well. From their new City Connects to the daily lineup changes and - maybe most shockingly - two-time Platinum Glove winner Fernando Tatis Jr playing a couple of games at second base. Who saw that coming and what does it mean? And then there was the dark cloud that floated in at the end of their five game winning streak, which was Nick Pivetta exiting his start with “elbow stiffness”. What’s next for Pivetta and where might the Padres turn for a replacement, if needed? Then there’s San Diego Football Club being naughty again. Pretty sure there’s a post on this page titled “SDFC Seeing Red”. Listen to that, if you missed it and hear what Mikey Varas has to say before this past weekend’s loss to Minnesota United. Pulling out of this red card tailspin is proving more difficult that than anticipated, with another suspension looming for this week’s match against Real Salt Lake. We also get into some Masters talk - really a preview of Tuesday’s show, when longtime golf reporter and Rory: The Heartache & Triumph of Golf’s Most Human Superstar author Alan Shipnuck joins us on the next episode of the MartyTimeTV / Section 1904 Podcast.
