00:00Juan Soto, just his second home run as a New York Met yesterday as the Mets win a baseball game 5-1,

00:08getting the better of the Minnesota Twins, who are off to a terrible start at a 5-12 beginning this year.

00:14Soto's first home run for the Amazons since the opening weekend of this MLB season.

00:20Yeah, by the way, Soto's always going to be a good player. We get that.

00:23And he does a lot more things than just, like, hit home runs.

00:25The guy's always on base. But you know what? I love this, like, the protection in the lineup now.

00:29Like, Pete Alonso was just striking out left and right last year.

00:31Like, hey, what's he going to hit this year, 220? He's hitting 345.

00:34Looks like a completely different player because of the protection that he's getting out of Juan Soto.

00:39What a fantastic move because you pay all of that money and then you expect your team to get better,

00:43not because Juan Soto's a great player, but the protection that he adds in the lineup

00:46where he's always on base or making the pitcher work in front of him.

00:50And Pete Alonso, he's reaping a lot of benefits right now.

00:52I like that Lindor, Soto, and Alonso.

00:54As long as Lindor is hitting 220, can step his game up to what we thought he could be for the Mets,

00:59that's a really good 1-2-3 punch.

01:00I like it.
