You are taking my post out of context. Here is what I posted: "His performance against Det & Bal were actually worse than his perfrormance against Cle and Philly. So in a matter of speaking Bard has been going backwards over the past 5 starts. " Against Det, Bard didn't get out of the 5th. He was behind on virtually every batter and hit a batter.
One could argue that his best performances were in April agianst the White Sox and his first start against the Rays and he has gone steadily downhill since.
