I was kinda hopin they’d bring up Brent Clevlen, but instead we got Joyce.
What happened to Bazardo? I had such high hopes for the kid. He needs to find it like Dontrelle Willis.
I was thinking the same thing about Bazardo. His control seemed to die along with this father. His story is just as, if not more, sad than Tata’s. Maybe he needs to go on the year-long bereavement list (if there is such a thing in the minors) and see if he can turn it around mentally next spring.
