Votto has found the fountain of youth so far in 2020 and Reds could use a good Votto much like We Are Family 1979 Pirates with good year from POPS Willie Stargell at 1st base. Votto stepped up in extra innings and his walk off win hit bounced off the top of the fence, almost a walk off homer to deepest part of outfield.

Now, Win the Series from Royals. I'm trying to remember it's the Royals because Fox Ohio had on hockey most of the night. The thing is the same hockey game was on ESPN or some other National channel. The Reds would have been on a National channel also but it was blacked out in Dayton / Springfield Ohio because Fox Ohio has Reds. So we got Toronto Blue Jays as Fox Ohio and a National Channel both showed hockey in August. Nothing is worse than hockey in August. Hopefully in future if National TV is covering the hockey play-off, they should at least let Reds have one channel on local Fox Ohio since no fans in stands. They did switch over late in game to see Votto hit.

GO REDS, WIN THE SERIES

There’s blackout restrictions. People in this area can’t watch the Blue Jackets on another channel, it’s blacked out. And I can see why a 5 OT playoff hockey game would take precedence over an early regular season baseball game.
