without getting something in return, and by

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto has been ejected for arguing a called third strike in the first inning Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves.

It is the eighth career ejection for Votto Justice Hill Jersey , a five-time All-Star and the 2010 NL MVP.

Brandon Dixon took his place in the field.

Votto was thrown out after taking a high strike from Sean Newcomb. After home plate umpire Carlos Torres called him out, Votto stepped from the batter’s box, walked in front of the plate and turned to disagree.

As Votto kept talking, Torres held up his hand three different times before issuing the ejection. Third base coach Billy Hatcher came over to restrain Votto as interim manager Jim Riggleman came out of the dugout to speak with Torres.

Votto leads the NL in on-base percentage and walks. His 265 career homers rank fifth on the Reds’ career list.

It’s not common in the NFL for players to get traded during the season http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/ben-powers-jersey-cheap , but it’s becoming more popular throughout all sports as a way for teams to avoid losing players without getting something in return, and by avoiding a big contract for a player. This offseason alone we saw many players get traded, including Michael Bennett, Brandin Cooks Iman Marshall Jersey , and Aqib Talib. This has become the new way for teams to go about free agency. Instead of letting players walk when they don’t want to re-sign them, they get draft picks for them instead.Sometimes this works. Draft picks have become very valuable, and paying players can sometimes hurt your team. Obviously, there are players that you are going to have to give a big contract when their due http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/trace-mcsorley-jersey-cheap , but sometimes it’s not feasible. Other needs come up, and you can’t pay a player because you need to sign maybe two or three other players. Free agency has become its own game in itself. A lot of tough decisions made by the front office come throughout the year. So, during the season, there are some players you can expect to be traded. We are not only going to look at who will be traded David Montgomery Jersey , but who will be the best trade partner.
