If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got—until one of your pitches changes itself?
Daniel Bard’s bWAR in 2020 was good for the seventh-best mark by a Rockies player (0.9; best among relievers). In 2021, he now ranks second-to-last among all players that have put on a Colorado uniform this year (-0.6). Bard has made 10 appearances in 2021—all one inning or less—and has allowed at least one run in five of them. His four earned runs allowed on Sunday led to his worst outing of the year.
