In a shocking turn of events, Braves pitcher Spencer Strider has taken to social media to clap back at Mets star Juan Soto after he complained about an umpire’s strikeout call in English. The drama unfolded during a recent game between the two teams, where Soto was left fuming over a questionable strikeout call.
In a now-deleted tweet, Strider wrote, “Hey @JuanSoto, maybe you should spend less time complaining about strikeout calls and more time working on your swing. Just a thought #SorryNotSorry.”
The tweet quickly went viral, with fans and fellow players alike chiming in on the controversy. Some praised Strider for standing up for himself, while others criticized him for being unprofessional.
In a follow-up tweet, Strider doubled down on his comments, saying, “I don’t know about you, but I think Juan Soto needs to take a chill pill and stop whining like a baby. Maybe he should try hitting the ball next time instead of blaming the umpire #Savage.”
The feud between the two players has only escalated since then, with Soto firing back at Strider in a press conference. “I don’t need advice from a pitcher who can’t even throw a decent curveball. Maybe Spencer should focus on his own game instead of trying to bring me down,” Soto said.
But Strider was not about to let Soto have the last word. In a final tweet, he wrote, “Haha, coming from a guy who couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat. Keep swinging and missing, Juan, maybe one day you’ll actually make contact #Burn.”
The back-and-forth banter between the two players has certainly added some spice to an already intense rivalry between the Braves and the Mets. Only time will tell if this feud will spill over onto the field during their next matchup. One thing’s for sure, though – the trash talk between Strider and Soto is heating up, and fans can’t get enough of the drama.
