For whatever reason, that link didn't work for me.
Joey Votto calls his shot

Is there really going to be a new thread everytime Votto hits a BP homer?
When are the "Votto hits a double in BP" threads going to start? I can't wait.
It was just a batting practice home run, but at least it was against a real pitcher throwing from a mound at full speed. It wasn't a situation like the pre-game BP where you have a coach tossing lightly from 40 feet to help a hitter get warmed up for that evening's game. I think it is a good sign that Votto can generate the power to take a real pitcher over the fence. I am not sure he could have done that last September. So I take this as a positive sign, but a minor one.
Votto was seen at the Goodyear Starbucks ordering a Grande Non Fat, no foam vanilla latte.
He is in mid-season form.
I mean, let's be real. What's more impressive, Ruth's called shot against the CUBS, or Votto's called shot off of Spring Training Pitcher X? No brainer in my opinion.
Maybe. You could be right. I think you can jerk a slow BP meatball out with a big roundhouse arm-swing without using your legs. When facing a real pitcher you have to use your whole body. Either way, hitting the homer off a real pitcher is a better sign than taking Chris Speier deep from 40 feet.
I love having this guy on the team till he's 40.
