The so-called “Subway Sequence” had moments of nice depth, each in pitching and hitting. Nevertheless, the outfielder who moved home in the identical neighborhood, Juan Soto, was greeted with hostility at Yankee Stadium and the group’s efforts apparently had an impact on the efficiency of the now New York Mets participant.
The Dominican had 10 plate appearances and solely managed to make contact with the ball on one event, so the Metropolitan workforce’s supervisor Carlos Mendoza spoke about Juan Soto’s disappointing performances within the Subway Sequence and the way the Dominican confronted the hostility within the face of robust rejection from the Bronx crowd.

It’s value noting that Juan Soto turned down a profitable contract to stick with the New York Yankees and opted to signal with the neighbor throughout the road
We each knew what we had been up in opposition to and but he went on the market to bat and did not change his perspective. Within the final two video games he was on base. I even have to present credit score to their pitching workers, particularly gamers like Max Fried
, stated Carlos Mendoza.
Nevertheless, when your star hitter goes 1-for-10, it is clear there was an issue, however for the New York Mets supervisor it was nothing.“I feel mentally he dealt with it effectively. This noise (boos) is new to him, however he is an elite participant and it’s normal to get booed. I am fairly certain Boston goes to be a loud place. I do not assume it is going to be as loud as right here, however he’ll hear it.” For the Mets supervisor, the habits of the Yankees followers didn’t have an effect on Juan Soto’s efficiency

The spotlight is the poor efficiency of the New York Mets outfielder within the three video games the place on Sunday he went 0-3 and the New York Yankees took the precise to have fun having come to the town rival, the place they’re even thought-about to succeed in the World Sequence. If that’s the case, the blue and orange workforce has failed this check and have given weapons to the enemy to know how one can defeat them.
It’s clear that the boos and hostility from the group at Yankee Stadium affected Juan Soto’s swing, however for Carlos Mendoza, that was not an issue, which is why his poor 10-1 file was regular for a hitter who earns near $51 million a 12 months.
