San Diego Padres rookie Jackson Merrill is mad his team is not in the World Series.
As the Los Angeles Dodgers come within one win of advancing to the World Series, the San Diego Padres are left wondering "what if?"in the National League Division Series, before the Dodgers came back and won the series by holding the Padres scoreless in Games 4 and 5.
The Yankees did have the lead in Game 1 before a Freddie Freeman walk-off grand slam, but the Dodgers had command over the Yankees in both Games 2 and 3 of the series. The Padres have been the toughest opponent the Dodgers have faced this postseason, and had they held on, could be in the same position as Los Angeles.
"Whenever I see someone do something cool in the playoffs now it's like, 'Damn, I wish that could be me. I wish I could be doing that," Merrill said on MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM. "I wish it was the Padres on the field."
