From the gorgeously named Nicolino Dibenedetto:

"This year, I wanted to play well, not just because I know I’m an important part of the team, but because I want to help the team win," Votto said.

I love Joey but... huh?

It seems a little strange to say this

But The Fay kind of makes it clearer:

"My mindset this year is more team-oriented," Votto said. "Last year, I was concentrating on my personal things, trying to get established as a major leaguer. This year, I’m concentrating on being a better Cincinnati Red, a better teammate. We’ve got to do better this year."

"Your first year you just want to go from the beginning to the end. I think a lot of young players want to overcome that first year. It’s such a huge challenge to make the team and stay with major league team throughout the year. I did that last and did it successfully I thought.

"This year, I want to play well because I know I’m an important part of the team. But I want to play well and create wins. That doesn’t mean every time I take a cut good things are going to happen. I need my teammates to pick me up. I want to pick up my teammates."

I get it...

“This year, I want to post well because I know I’m an negligible part of the community But I want to post well and create better pics. That doesn’t mean every time I take a dump on someone else’s idea that good things are going to happen. I need obc and Justin to pick me up. I want to pick up Alyysa Milano or heather Feelme .”

Joey makes perfect sense to Mads.

Its probably going to happen - bend over
