He hurt the team this year. He needs to bounce back soon, if it’s possible. The bad thing is his numbers declined this much with this juiced baseball. I do like Votto, I just like the Reds more!
Votto would be ok if his 30+ HR's days are over. But you need RBI production from him/1B. If he only hit 15-20 HR's but still had 80+ RBI's it wouldn't be that bad.
Like you say stop looking at strike 3, hit a damn sac fly every once in awhile, go up there aggressive at the plate with runners on base down 3 runs late in the game instead of looking for walks.
