00:00You mentioned Soto, right?

00:02And we know how great he's been in terms of the month he had in June,

00:06National League Player of the Month, as you just mentioned.

00:08To see him have the series that he's had here, Anthony,

00:12against the Yankees in these first two games,

00:14with everything that comes with that,

00:16we know how he got booed at Yankee Stadium last time,

00:18and the Mets fans have been cheering him a lot this week,

00:21and every time he comes to the plate,

00:23it comes to the plate, excuse me.

00:25How big is this for him to produce in this way,

00:28particularly against the Yankees?

00:29You know the Mets fans love to see it,

00:31but what do you think it does for the team?

00:34I think it's a big boost in morale, right?

00:36The Mets go down 2-0 in Game 1 on Friday

00:40with the home runs from Jason Dominguez and Aaron Judge,

00:44and you're like, ah, is this going to be one of those long nights?

00:47They don't have a strong starting pitcher on the mound.

00:49What happens next half of the inning,

00:53Juan Soto comes in, ties the game up with the two-run home run,

00:56and I feel like that was the turning point,

00:58and he kept hitting after that.

00:59He went 3-4, had a big game there,

01:02had a big hit in today's game as well.

01:05So it's very important for Juan Soto to continue the way he's been playing

01:10throughout the month of June and carry that into July

01:13because he's pretty much been the offense all of June.

01:17Even when this team has not been playing well,

01:19he has been consistent,

01:20and I feel like the team is rallying around that,

01:23and he really did need this for the Subway Series

01:25after what happened in the Bronx.

01:26I think he felt a little off there,

01:28especially with the way he was treated by the fans.

01:31Now he's at home, his home at Citi Field and in Queens,

01:34and I think things are going to be different moving forward.

01:36going to be different here.

01:40Here's the scene in the Bronx.
