From Daniel Bard:
“It’s not my decision. I’m just an employee here. Obviously, I’m not thrilled with it. If it was me making the decision it might have been different. But I tried to be respectful about it," he said. “Once I get the anger and disappointment out of the way you just have to try to make the best out of the situation.”
Bard and Mighty Mouth make quite a pair. It would have been better if he had accepted the fact that he needs to work on things in order to SAVE HIS CAREER, and it would have been much better if he had said nothing and owned his s***** performance to date as a SP. Here is what he should have said:
"I realize that my performance this year has been less than everyone expected. I take full responsibility for that and will do whatever the management feels is best for me to do in order to once again become a dominant pitcher in whatever role they feel is best for the team"
I really don't want to hear much more of what Daniel Bard thinks.
