My position is that a walk is always positive.
They are always positive.
My question was: were the impacts of the walks in both scenarios identical?
Let me ask in another way, with a hypothetical roster/batting order:
Bottom of the ninth, two outs, tying run on third.
a) Mike Trout draws a walk, Mario Mendoza coming up to the plate
b) Mario Mendoza draws a walk, Mike Trout coming up to the plate
Exactly the same?
