MERRILL MADNESS

[@rayfinkle9369]

Merrill today and Matsui the other day probably put together the best individual performances this spring.

[@jdsthird]

Agreed. Kinda telling with Nando playing winter ball.

[@Anggel_97]

It’s been like 4 days lol

[@rayfinkle9369]

@@Anggel_97 Yeah? And people freaked out after 1 game. The title of this video says Merrill might be a star after 4 games. Welcome to the internet, SanDaygo97. People discuss things🤯

Love this kids confidence!!

[@paulinthe6194]

I love having a kid from the farm doing great. It's been awhile since the Padres had a homegrown talent this good. Here's hoping Merrill pans out.

[@babypanthers]

I already like him way more than Juan Soto

[@Mr1stcat]

Lol COPIUM

[@chargerscurt]

Cocky is not the right word. Its just straight confidence.

[@RicardoZ590]

Wow! We’ve really over embellished the definition of a STAR, a couple of spring training knocks? Is this the new definition and standard?

[@JumboJuneau]

Yes, that’s where we are. Everyone is also a “generational talent.”

[@RicardoZ590]

@@JumboJuneau Damn!

[@JulioEdeza]

Get your autos of him right now while there still affordable

[@aicofrena505]

We shall see he couldn't do anything against LAD so till then well

[@OGTirpleOG]

It sounds like merrill has been talking to manny about baseball lmfao

[@ivancastillo661]

Id rather have Consistency. Love the confidence tho

[@mikec9390]

Spring training bro!

[@FatSal619]

GO PAD SQUAD ☝🏽💪🏽

[@chargerscurt]

High baseball IQ is standing out in the interview.

[@SouthCentral310]

He doing good against other prospects. Which is a good sign . But let’s see how he does against the big boys where it matters

[@OGTirpleOG]

He got a hit off of a mlb starter

[@SouthCentral310]

@@OGTirpleOG again , will see if he does that when it matters

[@LennyMolnar-rs8df]

Bring him up And keep in on the pads good or bad. He is only get better.

[@tonygallegos6164]

Funny seeing all the optimists here talking LIKE the Padres got a chance to win. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THESE NO MONEY OWNERS.

[@tonygallegos6164]

This a team that will compete not compete against the Dodgers. No pitching, hitters that get paid then do nothing. tatis is off the juice and power numbers dropped, Machado is a ass to other teammates, the general manager is a idiot, all this and they think there going win something, when he'll freezes over.

[@comala27]

😂

[@jdsthird]

So spring training games matter after all huh Hog? The young guys showing the veterans how to display Padres pride.

[@jdsthird]

@@nf_100 Padres pride is born.

[@reno-san87]

A star? It's spring training vs 90% prospects 😂 Hog reaching. Y'all just geeked to finally get a win 🤣

[@Amir-vw7wt]

2 hits off a starter that had a3.09 era in 110 innings 😂

[@Zyron22]

Eh be ready to see him in the big leagues hitting bombs.

[@Jukeboxster]

Having been on the Merriil bandwagon for months, I already knew he could hit, but didn't know he was this mature with the media. Feel even better about him being a part of the MLB squad now, the guy is a natural leader.

[@jdsthird]

AJ Tingler Preller will start him no matter if he’s ready or not. It is what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Jukeboxster]

@@jdsthird well good thing he's ready. this is about jackson Merrill, not preller,, not going to let you derail yet another topic and make it about preller.

[@jdsthird]

@@Jukeboxster Of course it’s about AJ. It’s always been about AJ. No denying it. Been the same way for 10 years now.

[@AustinCasdorph]

Merrill is just him rn. I guess it is that simple. He's clearly saying the right things and preforming well in the games he's played. His cockiness is a good type of cockiness, the type that leads to confidence in your team which is very important. It seems that in 2024, we have more confidence in our team than last year. And its not even close. He reminds me of 2019 Fernando Tatis Jr. who everyone was yapping to keep him in minors, they bring Tatis up in 2019 and look at what he does. 2019 Tatis vibes fs

[@BYE-BYE-NPC]

Hogggggggggg! How’s it going!!!!!

[@freedomtrucker2332]

He’ll probably bat .220 when the bell rings ..

[@sdfan44]

Side note: your hogwatch logo looks like he's wearing a mets hat 😂😂 maybe switch it to a brown/yellow?

[@thehogwatch]

I like the retro vibe sometimes hahahah

[@bkelsey6692]

This is what we need on this team. Someone whos confident, doesnt say what he NEEDS to say, and has the basic, traditional approach to baseball. This is some Freeman style responses right here

[@HNatureTV]

Good bounce back game

[@padresfamily2494]

The single wasn’t his first at bat…..

[@FatSal619]

Juan Who ???

[@Mr1stcat]

Cope

[@user-dr2ym5jr7l]

A 2 for 2 spring training game is not the making of a star, calm down people and stop hyping him up. Remember what happened last year when everybody's talking about World Series only to not even make the postseason?

[@davidfhth6842]

its not the result its the eye test and he looks like a big leaguer which is good

[@leobriseno5607]

Remember McKenzie Gore ?

[@sdfan44]

Im glad for the kid, but hoggie Jackson hasnt played above double a correct? So he doesnt have much experience with higher level pitching. Im just a half empty kind of guy, giving how my padres have let me down for years and years 😂😂 like aj casabell wrote he needs to prove his bat can stick to break camp with the major league team, he has a good enough glove in left field so far still with some growing pains for sure but his bat is what will dictate his faith.

[@thehogwatch]

Lock in

Hahahahahahha SAAAAAAAD DIEGO
