Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

It's the earmuffs.

BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

It's just like I just – you're not wrong.

BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

You're not wrong.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

But it's just about the here and the now.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

And I find it like the way that – Jeff, I do want to ask you this.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

So we talk about the here and the now in terms of this roster.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

And where we've landed is sort of along the lines of the problem that we've landed last year, which is why they traded Devers, which was it was a mismatched roster.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

And this is one of the things that Breslow said when they traded Devers.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

Well, we had to free up space.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

It didn't make a lot of sense.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

And that's sort of where we're sitting here right now with this roster.

But the other part about this, I think to me, at top of the list when it comes to the WBC concern, it comes back to what Sammy said, the Brian Baio thing.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

I have a hard time getting my head around that this is the best thing for him.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

The way that he's gone so far, the things that he hasn't done, the things that he needs to keep on working on, and now he's going to be dropped into go get them, pressure pack, be your best, all of that.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

Yeah, and Cora and everybody else.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

Yeah, I think it is a little scary.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Radio: The Great Payton Tolle Debate?

They'll tell you, say, oh, no, no, this is awesome.
