MLB fans roast Juan Soto for complaining about the pitch clock: "Juan has had nothing but excuses"

MLB fans on Twitter were quick to troll Juan Soto after the San Diego Padres star voiced his complaint about the new pitch clock rules. Fans viewed it as an excuse for his poor performances this season.Many players are against the new rules but have had to adapt to them and focus on getting the most out of what they consider a bad situation. Juan Soto is widely considered one of the best batters in Major League Baseball. He had a historic rookie season in 2018 after becoming the youngest player to make his debut in the MLB, at only 19 years and 207 days. He has since gone on to win the Babe Ruth Award (2019) and was named the NL Batting Champion (2020).Soto has also been named an All-Star twice and bagged the Silver Slugger award twice while also winning the World Series title with the Washington Nationals in 2019.San Diego Padres v Atlanta BravesIn August 2022, Soto was traded to the San Diego Padres along with Josh Bell in exchange for six players. He had a decent showing with the Padres in 2022, slashing a .240 batting average, six home runs, 16 RBIs, and 36 walks in 51 games. He went on to sign a one-year, $23 million contract with the Padres in January 2023, avoiding arbitration.However, Soto's performances have dipped since signing and the left fielder has struggled this season. In the 2023 season so far, Soto has compiled a .164 batting average, three home runs, and seven RBIs in 61 at-bats. While not directly blaming the pitch clock for his struggles, he lamented there not being enough time coming out of the on-deck circle to get himself ready and begin plate appearances.“There’s no time at all. You can’t even play mind games anymore,” he said.Fans, however, refused to accept this as a reason and slammed him for his poor displays.&quot;I dunno. He was bad last year too.
