Comment of the Day: Votto appreciation

Our comment of the day comes from Susan on the article "Votto breaks up no hitter in rehab assignment."
Reds slugger Joey Votto is continuing his rehab with the Louisville Bate but Susan is hoping to see him back in Cincinnati as soon as possible.
Susan writes:
"These are the boys that took us to the playoffs, and the boys we have loved and supported for a long time. Of course he's missed, not just by his teammates, not just by his many fans, but also by baseball. Joe's patience at the plate is unmatched by any hitter today, and his prowess at 1B has earned him a Gold Glove. Just because he's more 'quiet' and tight-lipped than some, does not make him any less intense, firey, and exciting to watch, every day, every game. Every one of these boys bring a unique talent to the team, and we need all of them back."
