Joey Votto approves of Barry Larkin's rant about Reds needing change

Former Cincinnati Reds star Joey Votto voiced his support for former team member and analyst Barry Larkin's impassioned remarks about the team needing significant improvement. Votto tweeted his approval, writing "Captain Lark 100," in response to Larkin's criticism following the team's 9-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs in their final season game at Great American Ball Park.

Larkin had berated the Reds, stating they were "so, so far behind" playoff contenders and that "change has to happen" for the city's team. This statement came during a July Reds.TV broadcast, where Larkin had advocated for the team to win another championship. Votto participated in a spirited discussion about the topic with former Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon on MLB Network's MLB Now.
