The San Francisco Giants earned a walk-off win over the San Diego Padres yet again, but fans can’t stop buzzing about Juan Soto.
In the bottom of the ninth, San Diego was taking the field, but there was no sign of Soto anywhere.
After a while, fans began booing, as the game suddenly found itself in a delay. Soon enough, Juan Soto came trotting to the outfield, allowing for the game to continue.
We never got an explanation for why it took the Padres’ star to get into position. But, MLB fans are fully convinced he was taking a bathroom break.
Watch the clip for yourself and you be the judge.
There’s no way Juan Soto wasn’t in the bathroom. 😭🤣pic.twitter.com/rtp4FKPsWC

Look at his smile. That’s the type of smile a person makes when they know they held everyone up for going No. 2.
We’ve all been there before. Everybody is trying to rush out the door but you’re busy taking the Browns to the Super Bowl. When you gotta go, ya gotta go.
But MLB fans had some of the best reactions after seeing Juan Soto delay the Padres-Giants game.

I don’t know. Soto’s smile kind of says different.
Gotta be awkward walking back in front of thousands and everyone knows you just dropped the kids off at the pool

Good thing this guy’s not a major leaguer.
I’m telling you right now, if I had become a Major Leaguer, this is absolutely what I would be known for at least 80 games a season.

This joke absolutely got me.
When you’re sliding into first and you feel a little burst….

At least Juan Soto and Lamar Jackson weren’t wheel chaired out like Paul Pierce.

This name is fitting with the team colors.

We’re all human. It happens from time to time. It’s just, for most people, we don’t have thousands of people sitting and waiting for us.
Maybe next time the Padres will alert Juan Soto sooner, or something.
Either way, this was just a hilarious moment for baseball fans alike.
