I agree that Votto seems to have lost his stroke, but why make up a bunch of bullshit to rip him? He is not a jerk and there is no indication that he cares more about his stats than winning. Votto is like many players who think you win by not swinging at bad pitches.
Votto has a career slugging percentage well over .500 so it is silly to claim that OB% is the only think he is good at.
A difference in opinion doesn’t warrant a wtf. I’ve seen the guy dangle a fowl ball to opposing fans that included kids, only to pull the ball back. That’s my definition of jerk, if your bias doesn’t allow you to call out actions from hometown players then that’s your choice. There’s every indication that he focuses on his OBP stats and these are not bad pitches that he is striking out on as he tries to walk. You’re entitled to your opinion and so am I. The difference is that I’m not gonna curse toward you to try to prove a point. Everyone is different though!
