Death, taxes, and Joey Votto looking mortal during April. It is an odd thing to guarantee but here we are, the fourth year in a row that Votto looks more like Skip Schumaker than one of the greatest hitters of this generation.
For me, Votto’s struggles can be compared to pet peeves we have with our significant others. For example, my fiancé and I recently discussed the fact that I oftentimes leave the toilet seat up. It annoys her and she would prefer I did not do it, but in the grand scheme of things it is not a big deal and she still loves me like Kanye loves Kanye (which is a good thing).
