Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images\" \/>The New York Mets suffered another tough loss in their 2025 MLB postseason push, falling 7-4 to the San Diego Padres. But what grabbed headlines wasn\u2019t just the result \u2014 it was Juan Soto\u2019s powerful message to the clubhouse after the game.<\/p>\n<p>SNYtv posted a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) showing Soto speaking candidly about the urgency needed if the club wants to keep its playoff hopes alive. The clip quickly gained traction for its blunt tone and leadership-driven intent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ve got to get going today, we cannot wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow&#8217;s going to be too late.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;We&#39;ve got to get going today, we cannot wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow&#39;s going to be too late&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Juan Soto on the sense of urgency the Mets feel right now: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XCgYz1vasB\">pic.twitter.com\/XCgYz1vasB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; SNY (@SNYtv) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SNYtv\/status\/1968507307265769802?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 18, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Mets now sit at 78-74, barely holding onto the final NL Wild Card spot. They lead the Arizona Diamondbacks by just 1.5 games in the standings. With the Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants only two games back, the Mets\u2019 margin for error is razor-thin. The team&#8217;s recent 5-10 stretch since the beginning of September has put them on edge, especially after a strong summer surge.<\/p>\n<p>In the loss, the Mets led early but faltered after a fifth-inning grand slam from Manny Machado flipped momentum. Starting pitcher David Peterson gave up the decisive blast, and New York\u2019s bullpen couldn\u2019t recover. Despite late sparks from Pete Alonso and Francisco Alvarez, the Mets stranded too many runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n<p>Soto, who has a .261 batting average with 141 hits, 41 home runs, 99 RBIs, and 115 runs scored in 150 games this season, came inches from tying the game in the seventh inning with a deep foul ball. In the ninth, he lined a 102 mph shot that was caught by Padres closer Robert Suarez \u2014 sealing the Mets\u2019 fate.<\/p>\n<p>This loss comes at a critical point in the club&#8217;s playoff race. Thursday\u2019s series finale is a must-win, with rookie Jonah Tong on the mound for the Mets against Padres right-hander Randy Vasquez. With teams like the Reds and Diamondbacks surging, every game now carries postseason implications.<\/p>\n<p>What separates the moment is how the 2019 World Series champion with the Washington Nationals has stepped into a vocal leadership role. The Mets-Soto era is no longer just about numbers \u2014 it\u2019s about presence, urgency, and postseason grit. Soto\u2019s call for urgency could define the tone of the Mets\u2019 postseason push down the stretch of the 2025 MLB season.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Mets star Juan Soto urges urgency after 7-4 loss to the San Diego Padres, pushing team to respond as NL Wild Card race tightens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":101451,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[25,23,1045],"class_list":["post-101445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-juan-soto","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-mets"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8 REDEMPTION MODE: Mets star Juan Soto fires up the team after crushing 7-4 loss to Padres, demanding an immediate response!
