JOEY VOTTO RUMORS & GOSSIP
Votto gets start off but keeps streak alive
Joey Votto on Wednesday was out of the starting lineup for the first time since Aug. 8. Votto ended up pinch-hitting in the ninth inning of the Reds' 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, which means his games-played streak goes to 177. But with Thursday's off day, he'll get nearly two full days of rest. "I talked to Joey about a week ago," Reds manager Dusty...

Karabell: Votto's RBI chances are lacking
There's a reason why slugging first basemen Joey Votto is tied for 14th in the league in RBIs (29) and not among the top of the leaderboard instead--opportunities. The Reds offensive machine simply hasn't had the the number of chances that other players enjoy. ESPN.com fantasy writer Eric Karabell pointed this fact out in one of his recent columns. Here's an excerpt from...

Joey Votto is a line drive machine
Joey Votto is the best hitter in the game today. You can have some good arguments about that judgment call. You might go for Josh Hamilton. You might think it Adrian Gonzalez or perhaps Matt Kemp. You might even want to consider Paul Konerko. But the choice here is Joey Votto. Not only has he batted over .300 for three straight years, but he has also had an on-base percentage of...

Bullpen carries Reds to top of NL Central
CINCINNATI First baseman Joey Votto and second baseman Brandon Phillips are the cornerstones of the Cincinnati Reds long-term success.
The contracts say so.
The foundation, however, for the Reds returning to the top in the National League Central rests on the arms of their pitching rotation.
So far, so good.
The Reds have recovered from two weeks of season-opening misery and...

Who's hot, who's not for the Redlegs
Joey Votto is being well, Joey Votto.
The first-place Reds (25-20) have had a solid month of May so far (14-9)--aided by a recent string of six straight victories, of course. And you don't rip off a 6-game winning streak without some great individual production.
Here are those players who are currently on a hot streak themselves lately, followed by some that are "...

LUCKY LANDING
Votto assumes ground rule double is foul
On Saturday in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto sliced a ball down the left field line and immediately turned his back thinking that he just hit a foul ball. Instead, however, the ball landed in fair territory and bounced into the stands, and Votto turned around and realized he had just hit a ground rule double. Your browser does not support iframes. Looks...

Past seasons show Votto's slump is temporary
CINCINNATI Joey Votto strolled into the clubhouse past Scott Rolen's locker, his clothes a mismatched wrinkled mess.
"Look at that, 225 million and he comes to the park in his pajamas? Hey, Joey, did you sleep in those?"
Votto smiled and said, "I'm a bipolar dresser."
Some are saying right now that the Cincinnati Reds first baseman is a bipolar hitter...

How hitting Votto was a team-building event
In last night’s titanic struggle between the Cincinnati Reds and the San Francisco Giants, a hapless Dan Otero in relief for the Giants missed his release point and hit Joey Votto smack in the thigh. No big deal; he wasn’t trying to do it. He was probably just so desperate to miss the Votto wheelhouse that he went a little overboard.
But the interactions that followed...
