Joey Votto: I'd rather quit

[Troll Daddy]

Joey Votto: “I’d rather quit and leave all the money on the table than play at a poor level.”

Votto spoke about his struggles in the first month of the 2016 season and he was quite honest. Via C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer:

“It’s not something I’m OK with. I’d rather quit and leave all the money on the table than play at a poor level,” Votto said before Sunday’s game against the Pirates. “I’m here to play and be part of setting a standard. It’s something I’ve always taken pride in. I love to play at a really high level. So far this year, it’s not been that. I will not be a very satisfied, happy person if I don’t perform at the level that I expect.”

After a great 3 game stretch, Mang has regressed to his earlier struggles over the past 4 games (3-15, 1 solo HR in a lopsided loss), although I missed the Texas games and don't know if he was hitting the ball with some authority still.

Like always, the Ks aren't bad, but he's just not getting enough done to bat cleanup.

 

How long before he gets moved down to the 5th spot?

Two weeks?

A month?

Two months?

2017?

When he is in year 9.

I hope Votto can turn it around.

I once said I'd rather starve than work in the middle east. Words are for politicians.
