Boston – And if something was said to Juan Soto by his manager after the last bad look of the star Right Fielder, the bases remained classified on Tuesday.
But Carlos Mendoza was standing near his player, a night after Soto was slowly moving into the hitting box and looked at a ball that he thought he had struck for a home run hit the green monster. Soto was limited to one.
“The only thing I am going to tell you is that as a manager, my job is to continue to train him, to continue to support him, to continue to teach him,” said Mendoza before the food lost 2-0 against the Red Sox in Fenway Park.
Soto, who finished 1 for 3 with a walk tonight, was not available to comment.
A night earlier, he described his approach to “jostle very hard”.
Monday’s blunder by Soto pushed her slow jogging to the first base in the previous night on a group. The ball was completed and when Soto restarted, it was too late for him to beat the throw.
Soto took an oblique bar line .246 / .376 / .439 with eight circuits and 20 products produced.
Most of these figures would be good, but Soto also has the weight of expectations of his record contract of $ 765 million.
“Often, their frustrations will make the most of it, especially a guy like that – he is so talented and was so successful at the start of his career. At the moment, he may think he could do a little more for the team,” said Mendoza. “He is part of it and that is part of the conversation here, including the staff. But at the same time, a guy as he wants to be trained, wants to be challenged. This is what makes him special.”
Francisco Lindor, a facto captain of the dishes, said that he could relate to Soto’s bad judgment on the ball who struck the green monster and that no word was necessary for Soto by him.
“I was in the same place as him, I thought it was a home run and after that, it is one of those like, not going to the second goal because you can be thrown and they play the wall very well,” said Lindor. “I think he has directed the basics well. He is one of those where the ball did not come out, so people will talk about it. I think he is in a good place.”
Soto also spent a difficult weekend when he returned to the Yankee Stadium – he was mercilessly mercy by fans and went 1 per 10 in a series in which the dishes lost two of the three games.
“When you sign this type of contract, there will be more eyes about you and he knows it,” said Mendoza. “He knows it and he kissed it. It’s not new. He has always been a superstar. I think he’s comfortable. I think he’s just a good player, probably doesn’t get the results he wants.”
Lindor was questioned about Soto’s comfort level with his new team.
“For me, it is the same person he was in spring training,” said Lindor. “He is calm, he enters, he works, he gives quality bats every day. I think we all spend a period when we try to get used to it and I am extremely proud of the way he treated everything. He did a good job.”
Mendoza said he doesn’t worry about Soto.
“I have the impression that he is in a good place,” said Mendoza. “These are also results and I think there is a lot of noise here, but he will go well. He is too good player. We will be there with him.”
