Joey Votto

That was like the it was a bad moment for the both of us.

Wait, what happened?

Well, he, in this, after his second, after maybe the third or fourth inning, blew out his arm for his second Tommy John.

He left one of the most impressive, I'll tell a quick Chohe Otani story, one of the most impressive things I've ever seen on a baseball field.

He got taken out in the third or fourth inning because he needed a second Tommy John.

he before he came out of the game he went up to bat and hit a ball 117 miles an hour into the right field stand for a home run against a left-handed pitcher and then left and had surgery I mean what what who is this alien and then me I just I I ended up popping out against him and you know so yeah he's a big guy

He's a big guy.

He's a big 6'4", probably 240.

And he's as fast as anyone also.

So he's got a lot of things going for him.

I was wondering about this, that the Baseball Players Association talking about there should be a minimum level of spending.

I've been preaching this for years.

And you have certain ownership that they will spend just enough.

But the Players Association saying, you know, you want to get up.

We want you to move up.

We want to raise the floor.

We may not have a ceiling, but we got to raise the floor.

What do you think about this proposal?

Well, I'm guessing that in any negotiation, if you make such a grand ask, there's going to be a reaction to it in that donors will ask for something pretty specific on the top end.

And is that what you want to do?
