We kick things off with Payton Tolle’s immaculate inning and discuss just how impressive the young Red Sox pitcher has been. We also talk about Tolle’s incredible personality, whether the Red Sox should consider extending Payton Tolle, and some fun ways Boston could market one of its most exciting young players.

Next, we dive into the controversy involving Willson Contreras during his rehab assignment in Double-A. After an umpire wouldn’t allow Contreras to get pine tar, he essentially gave up on the at-bat.

The conversation then turns to Curtis Mead, who is also working toward a return. Rob discusses where Mead could fit on the Red Sox roster, whether he can realistically challenge for the starting second base job, and how much time he may have to prove himself before the playoffs.
