Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly issues challenge to Phillies fans, believes...

[zambonir]

Hee hee. He must want the motivation.

[VoteForKalas]

Kelly supposedly lived in Bryn Mawr for part of his childhood and his brother remains a Phillies fan which likely causes some tension this week lol.

I did not find his statements outlandish. He has confidence in his stuff and will give it his best shot. Good for him. Naturally, I hope he fails, but he seems like a good guy.

Thought I read somewhere Kelly bought tickets for his brothers BD and went to an NLCS game last year.

[bkox]

Trea Turner, politely and with a smile, on Merrill Kelly saying he can’t imagine CBP being louder than the WBC game: “I would just wait and see what he says after.”

Yes, reported on MLB Network yesterday. Kelly said to his brother during the game that he wanted to be playing in the NLCS this season. Got his wish, we'll see how he handles it.
