19 runs is not infinitely more than 0.

And you're leaving out factors that aren't easily quantifiable. For example, by working full counts to a walk, he's building up the pitchers' pitch counts and getting into bullpens sooner. By getting on base 100% of the time rather than ~12% of the time (i.e. the portion of his .150 that isn't home runs), he's forcing the other team to switch up their defensive alignments, making the pitcher have to pay attention to him to keep him honest, and just generally increasing the chances for the other team to make mental/physical errors. In your intentionally silly extreme example of the next batters batting .000, that stuff likely doesn't matter - but in the real game, it absolutely does.
I’m just using the extreme example To show that not all
Walks are created equal. For example the padres lead the majors in walk and suck (like 15th in runs)

The Padres have a .323 OBP (14th in league, average is .320) because despite the walks, they have a .237 AVG (24th in the league).

Juan Soto is the best at hitting with RISP.

Check the numbers, it’s in there just look.

No really if he could hit off speed and or just hit with risp then I’m guessing the turdiest team in baseball would have 7 -10 more wins. And who needs those right now ? Definitely not a padre fan. It’s like,….it’s like they all quit.

I believe Soto had a bunt single yesterday with a runner on base.

Hey, Juan Soto doesn’t look very good or play very good consistently in a Padres jersey. He’s average. Can we demand a trade for him ? We can’t just sit here and do nothing. I have $5 to start a go fund me so we can try to buy back whatever they paid. Thinking for the prospects we can do IOU’s/gas rebate deals 10cents per gallon (we can take out of the fund idk? Preller must show proof of receipts etc. ,thoughts?). Okay let me know

Before you go the trade route you need to figure out if the problem is the Padres or Soto himself.

When the Padres are clearly out of the race at next years deadline, are they smart enough to trade him?

So new here (hello all!) -
I made the decision yesterday to purchase my very first (and only) Juan Soto card - I just wanted 1 high end card. I did so after probably 1 too many manhattans ha - and am now thinking perhaps I spent too much on it based on his recent play lol.

Am I going to regret ‘investing’ in Soto?? Picked up his HMT55 Rookie Auto (don’t like that it’s sticker, but I’ll get over that).

Regret will subside after a couple more manhattans, doubly so if topped with a couple extra luxardo maraschinos

They have to be the most disappointing team in MLB this year. Utter failure.

Nah. That’s the Mets. The Padres have at least the argument that they were just historically unlucky. 0-11 in extras and 11 games below their pythag is wild.

This is not being unlucky. This is being bad. Teams that are just unlucky don’t go an entire season without winning four games in a row even once.

No trades, pretty sure if all the padre fans donate like whatever they pay in taxes per year we can hit the go fund me goal !

Gonna stick to that. If we fail to hit the goal, the fund founders (me and a select others) will work out refunds. Will probably be like trying to get your redemption back but this is for a good cause. Will post link to go fund me soon .
