The narrative trying to push Merrill over Skenes down the stretch was hilarious, it was literally just "the Padres are a better team than the Pirates". Glad the voters didn't fall for it.
That said, Merrill deserved the ROY over both of the guys in the AL that finished #1 and #2. Kinda sucks for him because he also had a ROY caliber season.

The argument I saw more of was "but he's an everyday player!!!". Which might have some merit if he was among the best in the game overall, like Skenes is/was. There's just no way to justify his good/great season over Skenes' historic/generational one.

Reading the comments around the web from most non Pirates fans is just depressing. People are f***ing moronic and blind homers.
On one hand, backed by actual real data, you can point to 1 player having a historic, ALL TIME great rookie year, at the hardest position in baseball. A 22 year old who started the AS game and will finish top 3 in CY voting.
On the other hand, you have a player, who had a great year, but it was NOT historic in any way compared to other position players (rookies) over the past 100+ years.
And it doesn't matter. People are just ignorant f***ing clowns incapable of digesting logic.

Well, at least we won it, so, screw the other haters
Maybe this will get MLB to maybe create a ROTY for position players and pitchers...
I think skenes had far more of an impact on the team and league than merrill in ANY case
