Bard really does need to work on his concentration....he was just gassed there through. So if that is what V wanted that was like asking a guy dying of thirst if he would like a game of chess before he expired...."no a drink of water would be nice though".
Seriously though, Bard has got to learn to bear down on 0-2 counts and with 2 outs in an inning...he just really seems to drift off to someplace. To his credit he does know it and admit it but he has to get it worked out. Has to slow down the ever growing mountain of walks also.
