00:00I just wanted to play you this for you because we've kind of talked about, you know, he switches

00:05the other side of town, goes from the Yankees to the Mets. Mets are playing great, but he's

00:10gotten off to a bit of a slow start, I guess you could say. I mean, you guys getting like,

00:15you know, almost $800 million in this contract. You got to think there's a little bit of pressure

00:20on him, right? To perform well, especially out of the gate. And of course, you know what his

00:26answer is going to be, Scotty. What do you mean pressure? I don't care about it. I don't

00:30have any pressure on me. I just show up every day. You're Soto.

00:33I'm actually seeing results and getting, you know, the first two home runs out of the way.

00:37Does that take any weight off of you? I mean, what pressure? I mean, I don't have any pressure.

00:44These guys, I mean, Mendoza has been really clear with me to make me feel comfortable and

00:49going out there and play. I don't have any pressure at all. So you're just two homers

00:55that weren't enough to get the win. So whatever.

01:00Yeah, I don't believe that.

01:02Whatever is, when you make as much money as he does for the next 15 years, this guy

01:08does not have a care in the effing world. He's getting his money whether he hits home runs

01:16or not. If the guy hits 200, he's getting his money. Like, so what pressure? How is there

01:23pressure? You know what that is? That's everybody with their New York bull shack like that. It's

01:29so hard to play in New York. He did great with the Yankees. He's going to eventually do great

01:34with the Mets, whether you like it or not. And he's getting all of his $750 million pressure.

01:41Who has pressure when they have that kind of money coming in? Honestly, like, I'm surprised

01:46he doesn't have five wives.

01:48He could say all he wants. There's no pressure. There's absolutely pressure when you're met

01:53when somebody gives you $800 million, $770, whatever it was, $1 million. There's he's

01:58getting the money either way.

01:59The reason why the reason why the pressure hasn't been as bad is because they've been good

02:05without him being good. Fair enough. Good. And that's why he hasn't had to hear it because

02:10it's not his problem. If the Mets were 14 and 30 right now, they'd be blaming him was and

02:15he was hitting the way he has hit so far. They would be all over him. They're giving

02:20him a pass right now because they're like the best. You know, they've got one of the

02:24three or four best records. Do you think he'll heat up when it when it warms up? It's not

02:28it hasn't been warm every night. 60 degrees. I'm sure he's going to be fine. I'm sure that

02:34he'll get going. We we watched him last year with the Yankees. We've seen him. Yeah, you

02:38know, you know, he's a monster. Once you get once he gets things cooking.
