    Votto will hit. In fact, I'd argue that he'll be fresh and hitting against pitchers who're almost worn out. With the ball carrying in the late summer air. The late season additions of Votto and Massett should are huge, IMO, especially if things tighten up in the pennant race.

    Second injuries, tweaks, tightness, etc. -- they happen constantly when attempting to rehab injuries or recover from surgery, no matter how minor. Everyone is "on track" to come back on schedule until they hit one of these snags and then they suddenly aren't.

    The point is this: never EVER believe or count on the best-case timetable with an injury.

    He needs to be back before Sept 1 (to be eligible for the playoffs) right?

    He's on the DL, that's the same as being on the active roster.

    Think about a rested, hungry Votto in Sept and Oct.

    Yes, there will be a period of adjustment. But Joey, of all players, is probably the least to worry about. He falls out of bed hitting doubles.

    False.

    He is still asleep when he hits doubles. He hits homeruns when he actually falls out of bed.

    I hadn't heard that. How long ago did he say that he still has pain?

    Thanks.

    Here it is:

    This isn't what I wanted to hear. We're looking at Sept 1 at the earliest and if he isn't activated then, we've got some real questions to ask

    So you're laughing insultingly at people based on your own anecdotal evidence that leads to an absolute statement? OK, that tells me how seriously to take the jab.

    Plus, you are doing some rationalizing here. The facts of this case was that he was injured in pregame workouts that had him on schedule to return in 4 weeks, which was right on target with the original estimate. It wasn't a snag, it was an injury of the same body part.

    BTW, I'll be glad to take a peak at the evidence for your position.

    I'm sure it's roughly the same amount of evidence that you'll be presenting to the contrary.

    Snags include re-injury -- a pitcher who starts throwing and re-injures his shoulder, or feels soreness and has to "shut it down" for a little while. It's the risk you run when you're attempting to recover and regain strength at the same time. It isn't rationalization -- it's an understanding of how to treat estimates being given out by team medical staffs and beat writers.

    Just because he has snoreness 2 days ago doesn't mean it won't be gone 3 days from now... I've been there done that before... Wake up one day and can't move the knee and 3 days later it feels like its brand new....

    Give it some time... He'll be back...

    I don't think anyone should be concerned that he still feels pain. That's likely to be the case the rest of this season. As long as the pain isn't severe and is just soreness, he's fine.

    I provided evidence for my position, which is that this return from injury was within the stated estimates until a reinjury occurred. I can see, though, that you are going to define things in a way that it attempts to keep your point in tact, so this is my last response.
