Votto is on the DL for stress?

 

He has had continued dizziness. They thought it might just be an ear infection but he was still dizzy after the infection cleared up so they DL'd him to be safe.

Yep, stress and anxiety issues. Isn't it the same for Greene?

 

I heard Greene had some sort of anxiety issues, but I didn't know the same applied to Votto.

Is that your personal opinion, because I just searched him in google news and they say it is stress.

 

ETA: I found another article which states his stress was due to his ear infection.

No, that's not his opinion. That's what happened. How could that even be his opinion?

And out for blood. He may break Jerry Hairston over his knee at some point tonight.

It's both. There was a personal issue also that he asked to get away from the team for a couple of weeks, but he wasn't playing much before that because of the continued dizziness. It was less of an issue than they thought originally for why he went on the DL (when I stopped following it) but they said it did make it easier for them to honor his request knowing he likely wasn't going to play much anyway.

Stress and ear infection are vastly different things. Go on the DL for an infection of your Eustachian tube or go on the DL for stress. Len never mentioned anything about an ear infection.

The "official" reasons for DL stints are often very vague. And it wasn't for an ear infection. He was having just random dizziness problems that they couldn't figure out the reason for. Then they figured out that he had an ear infection and gave him meds. As I understand it, the ear infection cleared up and the dizziness didn't. Edited by David

We should score some runs this game. Made Owings work quite a bit early.

 

I'm not sure about that yet because Owings looked like he had pretty good stuff and he wasn't missing the strike zone by a lot. The Cubs didn't really have a good swing against him in the 1st. If he gets locked in with throwing strikes, it could be problematic.

 

Of course, the 1st inning will also make him tired faster which is where the team might be able to take advantage of him.

That's what I meant. Plus, he's not all that good to begin with.

So we're going to quibble over whether or not he had an ear infection? I just read several articles which stated he did indeed have an ear infection, which caused problems with his equilibrium. But you must understand it better than most of the reporters did.

How are we quibbling over that? I never said he didn't have an infection.
