He called Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins last week — not to beg for a job, but to make it clear he had a full grasp of what it meant to be coming into this, or any camp, on a minor-league deal. He received no promises — and he asked for none.</p><p>“We had a conversation about my expectations,” Votto said, “and how I wanted to just fit in. I wanted to prove myself. I wanted to basically try out. And he seemed interested. Then it all happened quite quickly. I was on a plane the next day.”</p></blockquote><p></p><p>Enjoy your hump day!</p>mktorontohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10929544082652802887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396085386453920720.post-30182093135895261272024-03-10T07:00:00.007-04:002024-03-10T18:29:01.638-04:00Another week of spring training!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCceoMiWnN2qRSXRvgQf2MUiM0M0-QCi7caHl7yu5wkGGdtVlpX6FhuCRDxvNHDHl3KD4sIs9WHPaxgPL6vrvVs7OxTXbh1_k9q4h7mT7OHAfwUuoptdIsj05fMby6RNmRutWx1S-0hwULjgFTYT64fA7S_iWFiubIy3QH70JNboRXqqAPkSCfLW8SxHN0/s626/2051.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="417" data-original-width="626" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCceoMiWnN2qRSXRvgQf2MUiM0M0-QCi7caHl7yu5wkGGdtVlpX6FhuCRDxvNHDHl3KD4sIs9WHPaxgPL6vrvVs7OxTXbh1_k9q4h7mT7OHAfwUuoptdIsj05fMby6RNmRutWx1S-0hwULjgFTYT64fA7S_iWFiubIy3QH70JNboRXqqAPkSCfLW8SxHN0/s320/2051.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div><p>And things keep rolling along.</p><p>I got to see Seth Myers live last night and got a photo with him after, so I'm flying pretty high!</p><p>Here, <a href="https://pinstripesnation.com/yankees-fans-in-panic-mode-after-spring-training-loss-to-blue-jays-2024-03-08/" target="_blank">enjoy some Yankee tears.</a></p>mktorontohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10929544082652802887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396085386453920720.post-21079578463287021342024-03-08T07:00:00.001-05:002024-03-08T07:00:00.132-05:00Friday Night Spanish Guitar (AKA WTFJITH)<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Dg_EYA3C6m9hvHAMTfijeN-EFzaSNGQozIlWnVAQLcOpaUnLW8U8HVxhOl3tZTY9TkoKSvFyYMJQ_38j7GZQbCuuikmHtppBlcpWZEWY_wMN2OrFWDhv9-giC8FytYIuMODuvFPDIUI3kxu3F-Ww-EnZlpy0mZi5nXM3iubxM76fy1EUaYhXQ8QGo8RK/s424/Spanish-guitar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="424" data-original-width="283" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Dg_EYA3C6m9hvHAMTfijeN-EFzaSNGQozIlWnVAQLcOpaUnLW8U8HVxhOl3tZTY9TkoKSvFyYMJQ_38j7GZQbCuuikmHtppBlcpWZEWY_wMN2OrFWDhv9-giC8FytYIuMODuvFPDIUI3kxu3F-Ww-EnZlpy0mZi5nXM3iubxM76fy1EUaYhXQ8QGo8RK/s320/Spanish-guitar.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>It's the weekend again!
