The San Diego Padres avoided a home sweep by the San Francisco Giants but questions still remain about the lineup. 

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discussed Craig Stammen's lineup construction and why all the credit goes to bench coach Randy Knorr. 

The duo then discuss a strong start by Nick Pivetta after a disastrous opening day start, using Mason Miller for a four-out save and why Ramon Laureano needs to stay in the fifth spot. 

We hear from Craig Stammen on his lineup decisions, and outfielder Gavin Sheets discusses if the Padres were feeling any pressure after a slow offensive start to their season. 

After weeks of conversation, it appears the Padres best leadoff hitter is...Fernando Tatis Jr. Darren and Marty discuss why that's the Padres only logical choice and look ahead to the series versus the Boston Red Sox.
