The Robbin' Padres Are At It Again | Defector
Briefly

Burgling and robbing are distinct crimes where burgling entails illegal entry to commit theft, while robbery involves taking items directly from a victim. In a recent game, Jackson Merrill showcased exceptional athleticism by robbing home runs to support pitcher Nick Pivetta during a match against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Merrill's impressive catches demonstrated his commitment to protecting Pivetta's performance, keeping the game scoreless through crucial defensive plays. His enthusiastic defense sparked excitement among teammates, showing a new approach to both fearlessness and teamwork on the field.
When you burgle, you waltz in somewhere you're not supposed to be... but robbery requires a direct victim. When you rob, you are taking an item or items from someone right there in front of you.
Jackson Merrill leapt up in Philadelphia and yoinked a home run ball back into the field of play. He got a taste for crime, and now he cannot stop.
Last night, the San Diego Robbin' Padres hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks. Nick Pivetta was on the mound, and he had nasty stuff.
In the fifth inning, Corbin Carroll came up to bat... Merrill sprinted. He jumped! HE ROBBED AGAIN!
