  • Something wrong with Votto?

    I know it is early, but the fact that he doesn't have a single extra base hit yet has me worried. He isn't hitting the ball with any kind of authority which has me worried that he isn't a 100%. Any theories on what the deal is? His babip is crazy low, even though his BA isn't that bad, but again that might not just be bad luck given that he isn't hitting the ball hard.

    I assume he’s fine unless we hear otherwise. Unlikely to see a decent ROI via trade, so should ride it out.

      I saw an AB of his last night. Announcers were noting that he's just not comfortable in the batter's box.

      he even tried fidgeting around just before the pitch was thrown, which looks weird. as noted, I think he's a HOLD.

        Trade him for Goldschmidt.

          Votto's a notoriously slow starter. He should be fine.
