That’s more like it for Merrill Kelly in Diamondbacks’ win vs. Mets
“You guys have seen me long enough to know that if I’m commanding the ball, I’ve got a pretty good chance,” Kelly said. “If I’m not, it’s going to be a long day for me. … I’ve been putting myself in bad counts, putting people on with free passes and then getting hurt after that. So I was able to limit a little bit of the damage.” https://arizonasports.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/merrill-kelly-mets
After ‘getting F’s the whole
time’ in ’26, Kelly turns in A-plus outing “It’s a little bittersweet,” Kelly said. “You almost feel like the kid who finally passed the test. You know, you feel like the kid who’s been getting F’s the whole time and finally got an A. But like I said, it feels a lot better walking off the mound knowing that you gave your team a chance to win. And that’s the big takeaway from today.” https://www.mlb.com/dbacks/news/merrill-kelly-goes-7-innings-dominates-mets-in-d-backs-win
