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

[HighHeet]

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.

Shocking how you can't understand how important, 2 functioning and pain free ankles, would no longer be a detriment to an athlete...

Please, tell us who is a better option than Noot, menstrual bright genius.

Oh, and step away from the bloviating Bernie...you might recover some sense of rational thinking, but I highly doubt it

[Melville]

34-28 without Mootbaar.
Now 17-20 with him.
Most claimed he would make the team better.
I said the team would prove to be worse with him.
Obviously and indisputably, to this point, I have been 100% correct.
Let's see what happens.

[Clubmaker2]

The outfield was better off with V Scott who sucked miserably, than Noot? Is your argument VS should be starting today and Noot in the minors?

Only you would be dumb enough to believe that the bullpen started sucking and blowing more games because noot came back lol im sure O’Brien said oh god noot is back now im going to hit and walk people lol and im sure when the line drive was hit to Fermin he said oh god noot is on the team im going to miss this ball because of that lol i would say you couldn’t possibly get anymore dumb but yet you make posts like this and still surprise me that yep you can get more dumb

[JuanAgosto]

Who is the answer? Thomas Saggese? Victor Scott? How about Caesar Prieto? Any of them better than Nootbaar?

Best lineup:

Wetherholt 2b
Herrera C
Burleson 1b
Walker RF
Nootbaar LF
Winn. SS
Church. CF
Fermin. DH
Jordan 3b

Hell yessssss. I noticed he gave up the lead two nights in a row since the All-Star Break.

When you post something, do you ever realize just how stupid you look?

Well, apparently his reflecting pool turned a kinda sick green.
While he might see a Leprechaun looking back, some of us just see green slime.

Simply stating facts
Many said the team would be better when he returned.
I said it would perform worse.
Which is exactly what has happened.
Feel free to make your case as to all the factors which led to the current outcome - and the individual impact of each.
Might make for an interesting conversation.
But, the fact will remain unchanged.
The team has performed worse since June 5.
Exactly as I said it would.
And, I knew the precise reasons that made it inevitable?
Will the performance improve moving forward?
Let's see what happens.

Being kind and gracious to a fault without exception and being the perfect model of how productive conversation is attainable on forums such as this, let me indeed consider accountability on this topic without devolving into the personal acrimony indicative of poor character.
A poster whom I will not name took this position early in the thread:
"Hopefully he at least raises his trade value? And since that is pretty low it can’t hurt....Who knows? Maybe the heel issue was a factor and he will prove it?....Again nothing to lose...".
Wrong, of course, on every point.
My analysis, on the other hand, has proven to be 100% correct.
That is nearly always the outcome when any individual remains free of bias, free of agenda, and draws informed conclusions from available facts and remains:
Only and always about the game.

Noot has increased his value. Do facts matter? Noots OPS against RH pitching is higher in 2026 (810) than 2025 (734) and 2024 (743).

It is lower than in the fall of 2022 when I was the only person on the planet to correctly analyze that the team should trade him before his inflated value fell.
And lower than the fall of 2023 when I again advised that course of action.
And lower than the fall of 2024 when I again advised that course of action.
And lower than in 2025 when I again advised that course of action before his surgery was announced.
So, no, factually he has not increased his value.
Now, is he more valuable than he was on May 1st?
Sure, but that is true of any player when the value is increased simply by being able to walk onto a field without requiring a wheelchair.
Facts do indeed matter.
As this thread provides ample examples.

Name the player on the bench who was doing better than Noot and would, thus, improve this lineup!
