August 23, 20241 yr Not only the same game, but the same at bat. He was at the plate when the game was suspended and will be behind it when the game resumes.
August 26, 20241 yr https://sports.yahoo.com/rookie-jackson-merrill-hits-walk-231142849.html "It was the 19th homer for Jackson Merrill, a 21-year-old who is pushing Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes for NL Rookie of the Year. “He's that guy,” Profar said. “He has it. Every time he steps up to the plate like that ... everyone in the dugout called it.” Jake Cronenworth struck out before Merrill went yard. Merrill once again deflected attention away from himself when asked how the walk-off homer felt. “Same thing as every day we win: We won the game. That is what it felt like. Any thoughts on myself, or anything, that’s all for the team," he said. Cronenworth whispered something to Merrill before he went to the plate. “I'm trying to be more in the zone, swinging at better pitches, and him telling what was happening with the pitches, it helped," Merrill said. Merrill was a prized shortstop prospect when the Padres converted him to center field in spring training to fill the hole left when Trent Grisham was sent to the New York Yankees along with Juan Soto in a blockbuster trade in December. Merrill made the opening day lineup and has dazzled with his bat and glove. “I've said it a lot of times, since I stepped on the field with him in spring training, he showed me that he's that type of guy,” said Profar, who is having a career year at age 31 and on a $1 million contract. Merrill said slapping five with Profar "was cool. But we're here for each other. It's not just one person that did it.” It was Merrill's second walk-off homer. The Padres have 33 comeback wins and eight walk-offs." Edited August 26, 20241 yr by caulfield12

September 16, 20241 yr 12. Braves (previously: 12). Season high: 1 | Season low: 13 As hot as the Mets have been, the Braves had to be concerned that they were facing the Dodgers at a terrible time; you’d like, say, the White Sox instead! But Atlanta showed out excellently this weekend, with one more against them on Monday. It’s probably pretty safe to put Chris Sale’s name in ink on, at last, his first Cy Young Award. Who would have thought this would be the year he got one, of all years? mlb.com
September 17, 20241 yr "The Dodgers acquired Tommy Edman from the Cardinals in a three-team deal at the trade deadline, and after taking awhile to adjust to his new surroundings, he seems to be hitting his stride. Over his last 14 games, Edman has been arguably their best hitter, slashing .315/.362/.648 with five home runs, 12 RBIs and two steals. Since coming over from St. Louis, he’s played 18 games in center field and nine games at shortstop for the Dodgers. His versatility and ability to steal bases have really lengthened their lineup down the stretch. GM Brandon Gomes: “Edman has the ability to seamlessly bounce back and forth between center field and shortstop and play those positions at an incredibly high level as well as adding another element of speed and bat-to-ball (skills) to complement our lineup. (It’s) been integral to our recent success.” Most indispensable players...long write up on Jake McCarthy as well GM Mike Hazen: “Jake has taken over center field for us and played really well defensively along with creating a lot of offense for us in different ways with his speed and athleticism.” https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5772020/2024/09/17/mlb-playoff-contenders-2024-analysis/?source=freedailyemail&campaign=601983&userId=310262 Edited September 17, 20241 yr by caulfield12
