Joey Votto just took the bat off his shoulder and swung (and missed) on a 3-1 count! For Real!

Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

One of the worst cripple hitters in baseball. He sure has done well early in counts though.
26-65 (.400) on 0-0, 1-0, 0-1 counts.
This year, he is 7-45 (.155) on 2-0, 3-0, 3-1, and 3-2 counts.
Maybe pitchers should just start him out with two balls right away?
