Caller: I've been reading this offseason about people complaining about how selective you are up at the plate and was just wondering if you were going to change your approach or have you made any adjustments?
Votto: (pauses) (clears throat/stifles a laugh?) No, I don't think so. I won't change it very much. I didn't have a very good year with runners in scoring position. And so I think that was just the one part of my game that really left a lot to be desired. Sometimes that can be luck. And Sometimes that can be luck. And sometimes that can be luck.
(Joey and Lance both stifle a laugh)
I imagine that I'll probably see a difference this year if I get enough at bats.
Caller: Right. I today I seen a big difference in your swing, so... I seen a big difference in your approach at the plate. You weren't as selective as you were. It seemed like you were waiting for your pitch and when you found it you hit the ball and drove in a run. So.. looking good!
Votto: (Audibly face-palming) Well, I, uh, didn't feel much different. I didn't try to do anything differently. (Lance chuckles). So, I, uh, thanks for the compliment.
