MLB fans troll Juan Soto after posing near fish tank for Padres' dog calendar: "That’s why he ain’t got that dawg in him"

Juan Soto couldn't help the San Diego Padres win the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, the Padres ended their homestand series against the Dodgers at Petco Park by giving fans a special gift: a calendar with pictures of the Padres players along with their dogs.Each month displayed a picture of a player with their pet, except August, where Juan Soto was pictured. Soto is allergic to pets, so he stood next to a tank of angelfish in a Petco store.The Padres said in the caption that despite his pet allergies, Juan Soto:&quot;Is still a big animal lover and especially enjoyed the allergy-friendly aquatic life on his visit” to the Petco store.Reporter Alden Gonzalez posted a picture of the Padres Dog calendar page featuring Soto.Alden González@Alden_GonzalezThe Padres gave away a dog calendar for today’s game.

So instead of appreciating the Padres outfielder, they poked fun at him.Juan So-So@PadresDoomer@Alden_Gonzalez He’s also allergic to hitting apparently2542@Alden_Gonzalez He’s also allergic to hitting apparentlyMason@_masonsedlacek@Alden_Gonzalez That’s why he ain’t got that dawg in him3@Alden_Gonzalez That’s why he ain’t got that dawg in himMGPinNJ@PKfan4life82@Alden_Gonzalez @JeffPassan I think he must have sat in a room full of puppies right before the start of the baseball season.2@Alden_Gonzalez @JeffPassan I think he must have sat in a room full of puppies right before the start of the baseball season.And I am Iron Man@hitmanhoupt@Alden_Gonzalez That’s lame.

(Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images)It seems like Soto has lost his previous good form. He has been a promising player since his MLB debut with the Washington Nationals in 2018. Yet, he has failed to deliver anything noteworthy this season.Soto widely contributed to the Nationals' World Series win that eventually led to him being drafted by the Padres and signing a $23 million contract extension with them in 2023.But ever since his debut with the Padres, Soto has struggled with average performances. This season seems no different.Soto sprung back to form temporarily in the latter half of the month, delivering eight hits in five games against the San Francisco Giants and the Cincinnati Reds, and the San Diego Padres won four of the five games.In their recent series against the Dodgers, however, Soto finished with one hit in the first game. The Padres lost their second game to the Dodgers 2-1. Soto could not convert any of his at-bats by striking out even once.The Padres ended up losing the series 2-5 to the Dodgers.
