Last 7 games Soto is 6 for 29 Kim seems to be their most consistent hitter.

You gotta be kidding. I'm looking for the all-time generational player that was being pumped in thread pages 400-900.

I hear ya. He obviously just arbitrarily hit a wall and lost all of his talent and can no longer be one of the best hitters in MLB. He's, like, 25 years old so this is usually the time when old age starts catching up with players and we see a decline in performance. That's obviously what's going on here. Quite astute of you to notice it before anyone else.

The odds of him regaining elite performance levels again are virtually impossible. Nobody after the age of 25 has ever been able to rebound from a minor setback. A lot of people that buy Soto are buying for the complete picture, not just a quick snapshot of whatever he's doing over the course of a brief period of time. Those people are fools. A player is only as valuable as their last 4 at bats.

YOU are doing that. But no, a vast majority of card buyers of all modern players are only speculating in the short term.

Have you seen the thousands of modern cards purchased and relisted in the past year? These are not long term collectors doing that, by definition.

Padres are back on track. Even that bum Tatis contributed something positive at the plate.

According to baseball reference, the three most similar careers to him through the age he is now are Bryce Harper, Frank Robinson and Mickey Mantle.

I mean, he is 3rd in career OPS of all active players behind only Trout and Judge.

... and 40+ points higher than Freeman, Acuna, Harper, etc.

You are wasting your time. He already knows he's right. Nothing that anyone says (or that Soto does moving forward) will convince him otherwise. Just put him on your ignore list and move on.

I literally couldn't have laid the sarcasm on any thicker in that post. The fact that you couldn't tell that and engaged it as genuine tells me it's time for you to go get your Info Wars t-shirt out of the dryer.

If anyone sees MightyMouseBrandon, tell him I've got my Flawless Soto Diamond PSA 10 rookie for sale in B/S/T. I know he always wants to know when I put cards up for sale.

Not a valuable card or extraordinarily rare but if you collect and like “ice” or “atomic” finishes along with already paid graded fees/ fancy card holder in a PSA 9 form….

Nice! "Not for a while" = only 2 months apparently. I'll take a look at it. GLWS.

Was thinking during the game that the Padres haven’t been able to build upon any success this year. And sure enough, their longest winning streak is three games. Haven’t been over .500 since May 10. Unbelievable.
