Both sides are at fault. but I think this would have played out much differently if Bard from day one when Pap left said I will step in and be the closer.

after bailey went down and bard didnt look like a cy young through his first 3 starts the media got on his case to be placed in the bullpen. it's not bard's decision at all. he was told by management that he would be a starter and after his first few starts he was told to continue to prepare to start.
this team might've found what they were looking for from bard in Morlaes. he's been a stud the last few starts.
