Juan Soto\u2019s<\/strong> career with the New York Mets <\/strong>has gotten off to an uneven start. While his team are one of the best in baseball, Soto himself has had a middling start to the campaign, as he\u2019s batting .246 with eight home runs and 21 RBIs.<\/p>\n

While New York Mets fans have been patient with Juan Soto <\/strong>thus far, that patience began to be tested over the weekend as Soto struggled against his former team, the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n

Soto appeared to commit a far worse sin than struggling out of the plate, however, as he also appeared not to hustle out of the box on what could\u2019ve been a single in the top of the 8th with the game tied 2-2. In the bottom of that inning, the Mets would give up six runs, ultimately losing 8-2.<\/p>\n

In addition to the apparent lack of hustle out of the box, Soto went 1-for-10 in the three-game Subway Series against the Bronx Bombers.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow the fuck do you not hustle here? Thats terrible,\u201d<\/strong> tweeted one frustrated Mets fan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said it 3 weeks ago. He doesn\u2019t hustle out of the box. Plays like a weekend softball player,\u201d<\/strong> another fan replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said the same exact thing, and this isn\u2019t the first time. Seems he rarely, if ever, hustles on a groundball. I\u2019m starting to see a little of Cespedes in Juan. Just a little bit,\u201d<\/strong> a third chimed in.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe embraced it. He knew what was coming and he didn\u2019t change, even though (Sunday) was pretty much the only game that we didn\u2019t see results. The past couple of games, he was on base half of the at-bats, a couple of walks, hitting balls over 100, you just got to give credit to their pitching staff, especially a guy like (Max) Fried today,\u201d<\/strong> Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said of Soto\u2019s performance in the series.<\/p>\n

The Mets will begin a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox tonight, while the Yankees begin a series against the Texas Rangers tomorrow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
