Nootbaar is not the answer to this team and I don’t understand Bernie

[Voldemort]

When he uses excuses nootbaar was playing hurt.He ain’t that good and other than the excitement of everyone saying Nooooooooot his playing don’t excite me.

No one has ever understood Bernie - unless, of course, you recognize him for what he is.
As for Mootbaar, the day he returns the team gets worse, not better.

ME ville,

Stupid,
Inaccurate
Troll

Concise and to the point concerning ME ville!

Can you imagine how he’d be if he stopped “just making it about the game” and DID “make it about me”?????

... and you win the internet today!!!

Noot had a great game yesterday. It will be interesting to see how he progresses. When I played in HS, I had a small fracture on my foot, but I played on it. To be honest, that was stupid, and it really hurt when I hit. Ironically, I could run ok. In the hitting world, there are terms like ground reaction forces. I know about them firsthand. I believe that this did contribute to Noot's poor showing at times. Hopefully, Noot will be fine and do well. Right now, the jury is out on that.

[Bomber1]

A lot of discussion regarding Nootbaar and his long term role with the team and questioning if he should be starting over other IF ‘s.

IMO it’s obvious why Bloom would have Oli play Noot a ton in the next two months prior to the Aug. 3rd trade deadline.
If Noot plays well til then he enhances his trade value.
They want to see that his heels procedure was successful.
In Noot, ESPN Jeff Passan cited the Cardinals have one of the best trade pieces available. He is 28 years old (prime of career) and had another year if control as not a FA til end of 2028 season.

So Bloom is hoping Noot has 2 months of good play plus good health hopefully .
Due to his age, year of control, and lefty bat Noot may have multiple suitors. If so, Bloom could get a nice return .
So expect Bloom to have Oli play him a lot these remaining 7 1/2 weeks plus. If it goes well, then adios by Aug. 3rd final hours, if not a bit prior.

Noot has one more year of control, not 2. He is a FA after 2027 at which point he will have completed 6 years of service.

Otherwise I agree, play him and trade at deadline.

[bccardsfan]

Looks like Noot not starting today against the lefty. Probably combo of the lefty starter and a day off to ease him into the lineup. No JJ either....

The Noot fascination amuses me that it still exists after all these years of mediocre performance. Glove ain't good enough for CF, bat ain't good enough for corner OF. He should have zero future here on a team that is still too LH. I hope they let him play enough just to build trade value. And admittedly, he's better than Saggese or some of the other nobodies they've run out there in LF. For now.

Indeed.
Gifted a job he never earned.
Proclaimed a core player by Super Slo Mo purely for marketing purposes.
Lars The Human Sushi-baar - always leaving an empty feeling.
Not very bright and terrible at fundamentals.
Good at drawing walks and then standing around while others do the real work.
The day he is back in the line-up, the team is worse.
The day he gets traded, the team is better.

Took less than an inning for Mootbaar to prove my point.
As certain as sunrise
Amazing how good I am at this stuff.

lol yep so good this has aged very well

In two games back he has more XBH than Gorman has in his last 14.

Certainly not the same game any of the rest of us are watching. He's literally wrong about every single thing.

Sorry, Mel. If you happen to see this I couldn’t help myself.

It’s also hilarious that his teammates and oli all say he brings energy and joy and they love having him but mel continues the myth that hes toxic

Noot is like Brandon Nimmo. Plays with high energy, always has a smile on his face, and appears to love the game. These guys are an asset in the dugout. The Mets lost more than statistics when they got rid of Nimmo.
