Joey!!!! That ball was KILLED.
Joey. 3 Run Shot.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
What an AB. A very typical AB for Joey.
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
The MVP is back in business.
"This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again." -- Terence Mann
He needed that kind of at-bat in the worst way.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
That was also Vottos 100th career homer
It looked like Joey was getting some ribbing in the dugout perhaps but that was his 100th HR.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Bronson Harang Milton gives up a 2 run homer.
I'd like to know how many times this year the Reds have scored runs in an inning only to give up runs in the very next frame.

Reds lead 4-3. One out, now two out.
Good to see Reds putting some runs up.
Orioles GM on TV says the team needs bullpen help. JJ Hardy for Arredondo?
Arroyo with two Ks, but unfortunately gave up the homer. Reds by one, coming up.
