Bard came into the game in the first inning throwing offspeed junk. He needs to first establish his fastball THEN show then the other stuff. He is trying to be too fine.
I didn't mind that Brennan because I have been a Sox fan since before Born to Run was a zygote. I know what he said is not true; he is entitled to his opinion about it. I don't really think he believes what he wrote anyway.
