CINCINNATI -- In Pittsburgh on May 6, when Joey Votto lost his cool after being ejected and bumped umpire Chris Conroy with his chest, the Reds first baseman was immediately contrite and willing to discuss the situation after the game.
On Thursday, the day after an explosive outburst fueled by another ejection, Votto was in no mood to discuss what went down in the batter's box with home plate umpire Bill Welke.
"I'm not going to talk about the exchange last night," Votto said.
Other questions during the one-minute stretch with reporters went unanswered.
