That said, he isn't his old self at the moment, but he's like pizza... even when he's bad, he's still pretty damn good

Joey needs to step up that run production. He only leads the NL with 90 runs created. He needs to do more!!!
Marty's act has gotten tired.
Did any of you encouraging Votto to swing at balls out of the zone happen to see BP's at-bat yesterday where he swung at ball 4, ball 5, and nearly went around on ball 6 about a foot away from the plate? You may call that doing his job, I call it awful.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
9 rbi's this month already, what more can he do?
But I think today, he will drive in more than 2 runs for the 1st time this year.
C'mon Joey, you can do it!

Calling out may be a little strong. I heard the interview, Marty stated the obvious, that Votto is pace for 70-80 RBI's and "that is not going to get it done."
He thinks Votto got caught up in OBP and stated how that Miguel Cabrera expands his strike zone and will swing at a pitch a inch or two outside while Votto will take it.
That being said, I've always appreciated Marty telling what he thinks and not just what we want to hear.

IMO, if be logical and realistic makes one a homer, its still ranks much high than a banana phone caller.

Listen, I love Jay Bruce. My fantasy baseball team is named after him . When I had to go to the ER the other night I wore my Bruce shirt just in case I died.
Votto is out OPSing jay by 100 points. Votto is one of the two or three best players in the league This Year.
Jay is in the top 15, but he's not Joey
He's had the second worst regular positional player hitting in front of him most of the year...a .286 OBP....
Phillips: .256 .310 .396 .706
Votto: 317 .431 .504 .934
Phillips has 80 something RBI's because he has Choo and Votto hitting ahead of him. He isn't even league average in OPS....
Give it a rest and go worship Joe Carter.
