The Sny stand did not let Juan Soto take down.
Gary Cohen Ni Keith Hernandez took too much kindness for the bustle of Soto out of the box on his long flying ball off the green monster during the 3-1 Monday defeat against the Red Sox on Boston – especially after a situation in Sunday defeat against the Yankees, where Soto did not run hard on a game in which many people thought he could beat.
“Weren’t going out of the box could have cost a base,” said Gary Cohen when the previous night was broadcast, before focusing on the current situation.
“He and (Pete) Alonso were both guilty of thinking that the ball came out on the left field and was not running hard at the first goal,” said Cohen. “Alonso was thrown in second position and Soto barely arrived at the first.”
Just before Cohen made this comment, Keith Hernandez said that “he played here enough” to know that he did not have enough of the ball so that it was a home run.
Soto reached the second goal on a stolen base, which Cohen joked because “he knew he was supposed to be second.”
“But that is part of a larger model with Soto,” added Cohen. “It doesn’t work hard all the time and that’s something it really needs to clean.”
Soto faces a more in-depth exam since the end of the Subway Series series of the weekend, after being more or less a non-factor during his first trip to the Bronx after leaving the off-season for the food.
Soto had a walk and a stolen base to start the series before spending 1 per 10 in the rest of the three game set.
To add to that, Soto attracted the anger of the fans of the dishes when he was seen in a very manifest way which was not running hard on the eighth round which could have helped to change the course of the 8-2 defeat at the Yankees.
The match was equal to 2 at the time.
