Covino & Rich are in for Dan Patrick today and they spend a few minutes focusing on the guy Steve Covino loves to hate; New York Mets slugger Juan Soto. As he notched his 28th homerun of the season, it’s notable that 22 of them were solo shots with nobody on base.
Steve Covino: “He’s hitting bombs but you gotta hit ‘em when they matter, when they count. 28 homeruns, 22 are solo shots. So, the joke that I keep seeing is; it’s Juan Solo. Juan Solo did it again! Not Juan Soto, Juan Solo!”
Rich Davis: “And you know you notice these things when you watch a team day in and day out, where you’re like, ‘Oh, well that guy hit another homerun.’ And you’re like, ‘Yeah, yeah, but in a meaningless moment.’”
