“What A Disgrace” – MLB Analyst Calls Out Juan Soto Over ‘Lack Of Hustle’ Vs Yankees

MLB commentator Dan Clark harshly criticized Mets outfielder Juan Soto for his performance and lack of effort in the first two Subway Series games against the Yankees. Clark pointed out Soto's minimal base-running, including a double play in the first game and being tagged out on error in the second game. Despite the Mets winning the second game 12-2, Clark emphasized that Soto's performance did not justify his massive $765 million contract.

Clark remarked, "OPINION: Juan Soto needs to be called out for his repeated mistakes. His lack of hustle on Friday night resulted in a game-ending double play. His lack of hustle Saturday resulted in him being retired, when he could have reached on error. $765 million. What a disgrace." Soto, while remaining the team's top offensive player, continued to play just well enough to keep his position.

The Mets, who had previously finished last in the NL East, are now 11 games out of the final Wild Card spot in the National League. After the games, Soto spoke to the media about his home run at Yankee Stadium, acknowledging the passionate fans but expressing his focus on staying locked in and attentive during games. The Mets will conclude the Subway Series on Sunday before heading back to Citi Field for a seven-game homestand against the Orioles and Phillies.
