Joey Votto

CeCe Sabathia got traded over to the Milwaukee Brewers.

And he's 6'7", 285 pounds, big, intimidating guy, and left-handed pitcher.

And Milwaukee has these shadows.

And Dusty Baker, on my birthday, September 10th, on my birthday, said, CC's throwing tomorrow.

I want you to take the day off.

And I go, no, I want to face him.

I want to face him.

and he starts strikes me on four times fires a few fires a few balls up and in at my chin and he's the type of guy that not only will strike you out not only will he dominate you but he'll throw a ball at you walk up to you snatch the ball and be like you want to fight sort of thing so cc was the toughest guy for me because of the combination of stuff and intimidation factor and he'd fight you and he'd fight you paulie do you have his numbers against cc

Okay.

All right.

You got three knocks off of you.

And the rest were strikeouts or, you know.

Little tappers.

Feeble tappers.

Imagine if you tried to bunt on Nolan Ryan back in the day.

You know, these guys, it was a different, and I'm going to go on with BK later on MLB Network and talk about Juan Soto and how the game has changed in terms of how the celebration is a part of the game and how it used to be a threat to your own livelihood, a threat to your health if you celebrate it.

And the game has changed, I think, for the best because the pitchers don't get to police the game anymore.

But, you know, sometimes it gets a little out of hand.

It's great to talk to you again.

Good to see you.
