Joseph Daniel Votto

good for him, and that was well written and composed on his part.

OTM

37 today. and it shows : /

Is think he’s finally cooked

dragons live forever

but not so slugging first basemen

It is kind of crazy that clubs did not shift more except in extreme cases in the old days. Votto is one of those guys that I think clubs just always planting a guy straight up the middle has taken away a ton of his hits. He used to get a ton of singles doing that and now they are just ground outs.

cooking with GAS you mean...

he can't play the pirates every day

Joey Votto has tested positive for COVID-19. He allowed the team to release the diagnosis through official channels

Virus doesn't stand a chance.

Exactly. He's been waiting patiently, letting one variant after another go by until he got just the one he wanted.

Happy Joey Votto Activation Day.

That was weirdly hypnotic.

A friend of mine posted on FB this morning about the 20th anniversary of taking his team--Michael Power, a Toronto high school--to the provincials at the Skydome and almost winning. The photos he posted are focused on his team, of course, but this one was great for the supporting cast.

Scored the game winning run today.

I have an update on the sad Abigail situation! It took a couple of innings, but she eventually cheered up with some popcorn! And Joey Votto is SO KIND- he signed this amazing ball for her!! Thank you so much Mr. Votto & the wonderful @Reds ❤️⚾️ pic.twitter.com/aIsHx3r42N

xp
wow, i'm not sure i've ever seen a canadian do that

what a flawless follow-up with the signed ball though, classic votto

i think everyone's entitled to completely fucking lose their minds at least a few times, right?

Votto has a serious temper when it comes to balls and strikes calls. This is definitely not the first time. Of course, he IS Joey Votto - I think if anything, he does know the strike zone pretty well.

Votto/Reds/Padres got the little girl's family some choice seats today next to the Reds dugout, so crisis averted.

this guy

nine homers in seven games?

penny oleksiak had better step it up

btw this surge has seemingly pushed him past the average HOF 1B in JAWS

Dude has his wrestling heel moves down.

etobicoke ftw

That pic is hilarious.

“we had some shit talking motherfuckers in st louis”

very very nearly made it eight straight games tonight

Seems unfathomable to have lived and worked in Cincy that long and NEVER had Skyline ever. I figured they put a 5 way in front of you when you signed your contract with the Reds.

Wait, he’s never had a skyline? damn, Joey Votto. I thought he was cool, but that’s downright disrespectful to not even try it

cohen's not even saying it right. it is pronounced

skuh-lee-nee

To be fair, he does not say he has never had Gold Star...which still to some Skyline people would be like saying 'well no wonder you don't like it, have you had Skyline?'

It's not for everyone and really it is much better to if it is below 32 degrees or you are about 9 beers into your evening.

Gold Star does have a bit more on the menu as you can get sandwich or a hamburger there, if you don't like Chili. Skyline is pretty much chili on a hotdog, in a burrito or in a bowl. They added salads sometime in the last decade or so.

You want to go old school local, you go to Zips. Although I go there, I am having a hamburger because they are f'n awesome.

Joey Votto: "if we were playing European football, we would've won on aggregate"

Reds scored 20 runs today; Votto was 0-3 before leaving, and is hitting .156.

:(

it's normal and the way of things for older players (and i'm older than votto by 3 months, oooof, but that's ok, because that's also normal and the way of things) to eventually dry up and start to suck very badly.

but there's something that's just wrong about votto doing it. i was hoping that he'd be able to pull off a ted williams at age 40 kind of season before he goes. maybe he still will.

joey votto was a junior when i was a senior, oooof

i know everyone can do this, everyone on earth, with various people that are slightly younger than them but have accomplished so much more, and much more quickly. so let's let out a big ooooof, just let it all air out in the room

I recently had a mini breakdown upon realizing that joey gallo was in sixth grade while I was a high school senior

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FXt7OuRUIAA13XV?format=jpg&name=small

in a few minutes he will set a new record for games played by a canadian (passing larry walker)

Out for the year:

https://www.mlb.com/news/michael-harris-ii-discusses-new-8-year-contract

He's signed through next year, so I guess he'll come back, but I don't know. I'm sure he doesn't want to go out like this. He turns 39 in a few weeks.

i think you meant this one: https://www.mlb.com/news/joey-votto-2022-season-ending-surgery

and yeah, he strikes me as someone who would want another chance to end on a high note

I didn’t know I was hurt. Thought I just stunk.

This is so awesome.
