Today we are joined by former Red Sox reliever and the 2020 NL Comeback Player of the Year Daniel Bard! With Bard (10:50) we talk when he knew he was gonna have a chance at making a big league comeback, the process of returning to the majors after being more than 7 years removed from his last game, why he was a little surprised the D-Backs didn't let him pitch in Arizona since he was coaching for them at the time, how wild it was that he was actually having fun pitching again, how the COVID stoppage almost ended his comeback attempt, the role the Greenville Drive played in helping him during the stoppage, what actually happened between him and Bobby Valentine in terms of the decision to make him a starter in 2012, when he was at his absolute lowest during this process, how hard it was for him to ask for help from fellow teammates and pitchers like Jonathan Papelbon, the importance of mental health for athletes still being overlooked, how he takes pride in helping others who are going through struggles finding the strike zone, who would star as him in a Daniel Bard movie and more! After the Bard talk we give you the exact record the Red Sox need to have in April for them to have a chance at a postseason spot, Bobby Dalbec's pursuit of home run history, and how truly happy Jared is that Steve got his Twitter unsuspended. Enjoy!.
