For Michael Kay, the Yankees-Juan Soto stress is over.
For Yankees followers, it’s seemingly not.
Because the Yankees have been on the way in which to a 9-7 victory over the Diamondbacks on Thursday, a “f–k Juan Soto” chant caught on with followers all through Yankee Stadium, though the Bombers have been clearly not enjoying towards their ex-star, who jumped over to the Mets on a $15-year, $765 million deal.
On Friday, the Yankees play-by-play announcer misplaced it on followers for the mantra on his radio present, “The Michael Kay Present.
Nevertheless it was surprisingly not over a dislike of the foul language.
“We hear this silly banter back and forth about big brother, little brother. You know what that was yesterday, everybody?” Kay mentioned. “I hate to say it, and you’re not gonna like it. That was little brother nonsense,” Kay ranted. “Why are you chanting about Juan Soto? Your staff is successful. And that’s what you’re developing with? You sort of needs to be somewhat bit embarrassed.
“Shame on all of you. Really, shame on all of you. It’s such an awful tiny look…You are still big brother. The Mets haven’t won anything. They won a bidding war for Juan Soto. They haven’t won a championship since 1986. It’s been 39 years since they won a title, and you’re chanting bleep Juan Soto? I don’t get it. Color me confused. I don’t get it, and it’s a bad look. It’s a bad, bad look…I think it’s an awful, awful look by all of you. All of you! And I would have addressed it yesterday if I actually heard it through my headphones.”
The Mets (4-3) are above .500 for the primary time this season after a house opener win, however they aren’t the 5-2 Yankees, who’re off to a scorching begin as their torpedo bat success has been talked about at size throughout the league.
With the Amazin’s, Soto has gone 6-for-25 via seven video games with one dwelling run, three RBIs and a .827 OPS, although he did have a game-ending strikeout towards the Astros on Opening Day.
