<3 Joey. Seems to have overcome that anxiety he had earlier in his career.

Unrelated, from same game, also GOAT:

Great player.

I'll take the massive margin of victory though.

I was sitting in RF and tried to live blog this here but phone died. They only did it once. There was so much FPS in this game. Weird thing to me is they ran the infield straight up at 0-0, and then gradually shifted toward pull after each pitch. Like Baez started at normal 3B alignment but was nearly behind 2b bag on 2-2 count or whatever.

Votto reached base three times in yesterday’s game against the Cubs, doubling and singling twice. That marks the 19th consecutive game in which he’s reached base at least twice. It’s the longest such streak since Barry Bonds did it in 2004 and it’s only two games shy of Ted Williams’ record set in 1948.

The Reds have been terrible this year, but Votto has been putting up MVP-level numbers, hitting .317/.447/.603 with 31 homers and 83 RBI. He leads the league in walks, intentional walks, on-base percentage and OPS, OPS+ and games played.

i've surely just jinxed him, but whatever

Will need to walk twice because Hendricks is throwing a no hitter this evening.

CHALK IT.

eh

I myself predict the MVP will continue his stretch of domination tonight though
Kris Bryant 11-game hitting streak (28 times on base):
.465/.549/.744, 20 Hits, 8 Runs, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 6 Walks, 2 HBP.... all good for a 1.293 ops

If Anthony Banda is on the plane for Houston this afternoon, and not on a bus to Reno, I'll be thoroughly disappointed. I find it hard to believe they don't have someone less bad available.

That's fine. Maybe by 2020 he'll be ready for the show. In the meantime, what good is sending him out there to throw BP every 5 days doing?

And on the opposite end Judge just tied the single season record for consecutive games with a strikeout for position players
