That's an insult to Soto by comparing him to Votto who selfishly pads his on-base percentage numbers by not touching anything out of the strike zone even in situations when his teammates need him to be the guy.
As for the game, and the comment regarding the 9-minute lead, they were just pointing out how uncomfortable it must have been as a Nationals fan to watch that game when they were already trailing 3 minutes into the first inning. The stress to endure the next two and a half hours knowing they weren't generating any offense....slowly watching the number of 'outs' they had left...That was the point. Not a Nationals fan, but I watch baseball everyday. Mets fan unfortunately.
