I know Paul Skenes has been phenomenal for the pirates 🏴☠️, but! I would take Merril over Skenes without a doubt. You just can’t ignore the facts that, Merril plays a premium position everyday and he is playing a great defense and offensive along with it. For me he deserves more over anybody
Hoz, us Padres fans love you bro, is just business. Look at them Doyers fan putting Kershaw under the bus. Ounce you stop producing in this business is harsh.
Here’s what I will say: I think Merrill deserves rookie of the year more than Skenes. Yes what Skenes is doing is exciting but you only see him every four or five days. Merrill is out there pretty much every night.
Skenes has been great but Merrill has had game tying homers in the 9th twice on just this one road trip alone. Kid really has that clutch gene. If the Padres pull off taking the division from the Dodgers, those home runs could be the difference maker.
I think Merril has closed the gap with skenes again. Merril was the run away in the first half. Skenes has lived up to the hype. But Merril has clutched up so hard for the padres. if they win the division, he'll be a huge reason for it.
Hos, as a huge Padres fan this has got to be said. The way things ended with you and us was unfortunate. You didn’t deserve it. At least you still got that guaranteed money but they did you wrong. We love you in SD. Also, what needs to be said that nobody acknowledges is that you started it all for SD. Before you, no one signed with us. We were very irrelevant. You chose us. I get why but still. After you we got Machado and so many others. You were part of the first playoff run where we finally won a playoff series in forever. You were one of the four who hit the consecutive grand slams and so much more. Thanks for all you did. Lastly, can you explain to me why every season you started hot the first few weeks and they they sat you a few games in a row. Every time. Why cool off a hot hitter? That had to bother you as much as it bugged me.
I'm headed out to the K with my son tonight to watch the first game of that I-70 series! It should be a awesome game. Right behind the Royals dugout! Can't wait.
Rookie of the Year award became a joke when some dude that threw 27 Innings won it a couple years ago over cronenworth, unfortunately most MLB awards now don't hold much credibility with the fans that know baseball. Merrill hands down the winner. The guys playing a position he's never played before.😮 although I understand PS wouldn't really have a problem with that either
@@AirCoryell79 I think that's a little unfair to current mlb. Awards have always had controversial years. Dennis E winning cy young is the main example.
I watched every game. Aaron judge played last year and I was so excited for him. And he is such a great offensive player. But if I had to pick one on my team, it would be Bobby with no question. He's just a better all around baseball athlete.
Witt’s problem is that there is only about a .790- plus OPS.. on his road ledger, much less than his home OPS. Facing more action vs. AL EAST teams, JUDGE has hit 18 homers at home, and 23 on the road. His OPS is fairly close to being the same on his home and road splits. Throw in the fact that there is no RBI partner on NYY like PASQUANTINO on WITT’s ROYALS. Judge has on the RBI FRONT, has literally been carrying the YANKEES. I despise the YANKS and bleed ROYAL and POWDER BLUES with metallic gold, but the facts are the facts. FOREVER ROYAL..
Why is the rookie of the year shared for pitchers and hitters? The CY young is essentially the MVP of pitching. Yes there have been some pitchers that win MVP, thats for crazy years.
Left/center at Yankee stadium is 399 BIGGEST in baseball. Witt would have so many fly outs to the track. Don’t get me wrong. I love it Witt, but he’s not getting intentionally walked with two outs.
I love the Royals! That being said the writers are so in love with the freaking Yankees there's no way they give it to the best players in baseball over Judge. Witt Jr is the best in the MLB this year

I honestly believe as of this point if you asked who you would rather on your team this year for what they have done it would be Merrill
Merrill 100% move from S.S to outfield and batting that plus!! 😎👍
Merrill 💯
Skenes has only been in 14 games. Merrill has played well over 100+ games!! Come on
Jackson Merrill and Bobby Witt Jr both highlighted in the same video?!? Never clicked faster.
Damn, Hos is good at this shit.
Hoz, us Padres fans love you bro, is just business. Look at them Doyers fan putting Kershaw under the bus. Ounce you stop producing in this business is harsh.
THANK YOU GUYS!!! Talking up Merrill and Pro, amen on that, extend Profar, and ROTY Mr Merrill!! Absolutely on fire!

It would be great to see another actual Royals/Yankees rivalry after a 40 year slumber..

He, Merril, just did it again today (Sat Aug 10)
After the game yesterday, Jackson Merrill just keeps climbing up that ladder. Watch out Skenes👀

Thanks gents (and any ladies behind the scenes)
I am glad the Royals are in the limelight. For something positive for a change.
Glad you’re enjoying the shows! Thank you from the Diggin’ gents and lady 🙌
Witt Jr DOES EVERYTHING. Judge hits Home runs.
Breaking up the segments with the time stamps is clutch thank you 🙏🏽
👊👊
It’s crazy a guy hitting .350 on the year and people think he won’t soon mvp
Not just hitting 350. Hitting .350 with power and immaculate defense at the most valuable position.
15:40 Totally encapsulates Hosmer's time with the Pads. Take the money and run....
MERRILLMAGIC🔥🔥

I thought waiver trades weren’t a thing anymore or at least for players on 40 mans?
Peter rocken that hair piece and veneers. Looks good.
Pete’s a beautiful human.

Yea, reminds me of '86 when Clemens was gifted the mvp. Mattingly was robbed!!!
Are the Padres still paying Hosmer this year?
Good Stuff GUys
Fucking WAR smh

You mean he would have so many inside the park homers...

Hosmer playing on RUclips while stealing million$ from the Padres.
Can't stand Hosmer. Biggest waste of money in Padres history
