6.30 ERA for AAA Pawtucket.

What a waste of a brilliant set-up pitcher and potential closer. image

    Ya, they completely ruined him....I never understood why they deviated from what appeared to be the plan for so long of him replacing Papelbon as the closer.

    He was not pitching very well last year either so it was not something that just happened this year.

    He also is the one that wanted to be a starting pitcher.

    so who is the pitching coach with the Sea Dogs? Maybe I will get to see Bard pitch when I go to a game in Portland in July

    It does seem sad at the moment--but I still have hope he will rebound in the near future.

    Bard did tell reporters last Friday that when he returns to the big league, he will go back to the bullpen:

    I will continue to collect his cards as part of my many player collections--so if any of you have some Bard cards that you want to get rid of, you can send them my way. image
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.
