Comments on: Joey Votto is at least one week away from returning http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/07/joey-votto-is-at-least-one-week-away-from-returning/ Baseball. Baseball.

But no worries. Dusty Baker is still making out the lineup card. Votto will be 145% before he ever sees the field again.

We don’t play a team with a winning record any time soon, might as well ease him back in.

He’s obviously not stupid. If I’m calling the shots and Joey Votto tells me he is good to go tomorrow….he’s in the lineup. The rest of the Reds are slipping into one of their patented team funks. Just look at all the crap they are swinging at (and meatballs they are watching go by). They need Votto back in the lineup yesterday.

He’s a quality player the Reds need to lean on, I would take extra care and maybe a few beatings by not having him at first, if it means he’s healthier down the road.

Cueto pitched his tail off tonight and got pinned with another loss due to lack of scoring.

It’s not like we’re struggling to hit the ball ( sarcasm ) hurry back Joey.
