VIDEO: Reds' Joey Votto Had NSFW Comment While Celebrating Home Run Against Indians
By Parker White
Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto has been riding the struggle bus so far in 2019, but on Wednesday he belted his sixth home run of the season in back-to-back fashion with rookie Nick Senzel. That fired him up, obviously, and he shouted this NSFW comment as he went into the dugout.

I believe he said, "Let's see some f---ing pitches, bro." If that isn't, it should be. We all know how patient at the plate Votto is.
Joey Votto's last two weeks of action, not counting today's game: .393/.426/.518 in 61 PA. Only one homer (two if you include today's) and 11 strikeouts against just four walks, so it's not all good, but it's better.

Votto isn't taking walks and getting on base at the same rate we are used to, but he's been a lot more productive at the dish recently. Maybe today's homer is the start of a power surge for the former MVP?
