Too many walks, too many strikeouts. Sucks that 7 runs isn’t enough to win a ballgame. Should’ve easily been a series sweep, instead they again figured out a way to lose.
Remember deadline 2022 when Bard could’ve been traded and actually had value? Isn’t it awesome that Bill Schmidt thought “get that man a new contract” instead? I’m so glad these decisions are panning out just like basically anyone could have predicted.
