Reds first baseman Joey Votto is coming off of a season where he hit just 12 home runs, the lowest total of his career with at least 130 games played.  That led to critics coming at him saying his skills are on the decline.

The 35-year-old addressed the haters with a custom “decline phase” t-shirt.  That’s one way to hit back, another way is to hit more home runs.

Trolling is the only thing Votto might be better at than hitting.  Major League Baseball could use more guys like him.

We’re rooting for more homers and more trolling from Votto in 2019.
