34-28 without Mootbaar.
18-22 with him.
From +6 without, to -4 with.
10 game swing in less than 7 weeks.
Team noticeably worse since his return.
Exactly as I said would be the case.
Sometimes I wish I was wrong more than 3% of the time.
But, I am not.
Good news.
Trade deadline is getting close.
Another TOXIC remnant will soon depart.

Or Oli’s?
Certainly not the pitching.

:lol:
That’s it.....we need to settle this once and for all!!!
Before tomorrow nights game:
Someone needs to hold Noot down.
Shave his head.
Find out if “666” is somewhere on his scalp?????

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 ....
Sushi-baar.
Heavily dependent on marketing.
Always leaves you with a slightly empty feeling.
The idea is always better than the reality.
But, the problem isn't playing him.
The problem is trying to prop up any level of trade value rather than the team continuing to do what was working well without him.
The season instantly changed from being about young players trying to win to being about dumping a guy from the TOXIC past.
Players knew it.
And the result have been exactly as bad as I said they would be.
People are not hard to understand.
They will only effort to succeed to level expected and believed.
You are seeing a real time example of that truth when the Cardinals take the field.

I put you on ignore stupid because you're a fraud and a liar. Don't bother.
No one else should either. Enjoy being a chew toy

No, I did not make that post.
Yes, you will continue to:
Keep reading.
Keep learning.
Because you are fully aware that every word of content I have supplied to this thread is 100% perfectly accurate.
Which, I suspect, is your actual objection.
The team indisputably has performed worse since re-gifting Mootbaar with a starting role with the sole purpose of seeking to create trade value - at the expense of undoing what had been previously working well.
Easy.
Obvious.
Correct.

9-14 in July with Mootbaar.
19-24 since Mootbaar returned.
3-7 since the AGS with Mootbaar.
The hit a high-water mark of 9 games without him and have collapsed since his return.
When players are plainly told that there is no priority or expectation of winning, they don't.
Exactly as I said would be the case.
Folks, this stuff ain't hard.
96.82% accuracy rate and trending up.

Nootbaar is a clown. Reminds me of a late 90s nu metal punk.

To be fair, it is worth noting he learned his unserious behavior from the likes of The Poser, Mikolas, and regrettably Wainwright in the latter stages of his career.
Mootbaar is both a product and remnant of the TOXIC CULTURE which was thrust upon him when he reached the Cardinals.
Not entirely his fault.

Is the "poser" a reference to Bader?
