Joey Votto still bangs and the Cincinnati Reds complete a winning road trip as they beat the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. Jeff and Steve discuss why Joey Votto will continue to hit well this year and what that means for the Reds. They also talk about Tyler Stephenson and why the Reds should begin the first base succession plan with him. Tyler Stephenson has faced a few concussions, already, in his young career and should not be stuck at catcher, by default, or his Reds career will be much shorter than we had hoped. Also, is Aristides Aquino back for the Reds? Who is the Reds bullpen ace and who is it not Alexis Diaz? Will the Reds win three or four games against the Cubs?
