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

Point taken
Noot has been a tease but he has been worthy of his PT which probably says more about the overall state of the OF.
Now:
Walker has emerged
Church is looking solid
Josh Baez emerging?
That changes the dynamic of the OF moving forward.
Could lead to Noot being dealt for other needs?
I would not just dump him though.

The problem is people judge noot based on what he was hyped to be not what he is. If you judge him on what he was hyped to be then yea you will be disappointed if you judge him for what he is which is a good teammate who gets on base plays solid defense lengthens the lineup drives up a pitchers pitch count and makes a good team better. He’s not a middle of the order bat he’s better if you have a good lineup and he’s batting 6th or 7th. He should be traded though he’s a guy for a team that has a really good lineup and he can hit lower in the lineup he’s not a guy you build around though. I like him he’s a good solid player but he should be traded. He’s definitely better than what they have had in left and looks like mantle compared to the unicorn

True
I see him as a solid OF that fills the need a LH platoon player on a good team.
He’s ok. Probably best if he is moved.

Relevance to my perfect point?
None.
... and you blame Noot? What a joke!
Please reference any post in which I blamed Lars The Human Susi-baar for the team's losing record since he returned.
Such a post does not exist.
So there is no need for you to waste your time chasing something that cannot be located, despite your inaccurate assumption.
Rather, I have said (alone, brilliantly, and correctly) that his return would make the team worse.
Which is exactly what has happened.
And it has happened for all the reasons I have shared many times.
Folks, this stuff ain't hard.

Down to .248 with .740 OPS. 3 HRs, 12 RBIs. Is that corner OF material for about a quarter of a season? He is on course to be exactly what he's always been and not been. Trade him.

Cards lose. It must be Noot’s fault!!
Or Oli’s?
Certainly not the pitching.
Well, Noot did contribute a clutch 2-run single in the 9th inning when down 6 runs. Classic Noot. He is not and never will be a MOTO or corner OF bat. And his D ain't good enough for CF.

Well until we come up with someone better, he's, our guy.
There's the problem. Noot is what he is an until you can replace him ....

Who’s a better outfielder other than Walker?
Either way, I hope some GMs don’t think that way so that he can bring some trade value!

If you trade him then you need to replace him. Whoops, that's a problem
