I enjoyed listening the Minnesota radio broadcast today and then watching Willis highlights online. Gladden and Gordon were very complimentary of Dontrelle as you can imagine. He was baffling a few batters out there today.
Was it a skeleton lineup for the Twins that Dontrelle was containing? Sure. So what? The guys the Twins had in the lineup were getting paid to play as well and I don't think you have to apologize for winning. Dontrelle was good enough to win today and that's what matters.
I said it after his outing in Anaheim and I'll say it again....Willis just looks like he's a little ticked off out there...he's not looking bewildered like before. Perhaps now that he feels competitive again the juices are flowing. Its fun to watch.
The MLB blackout rules in IA/NV stink, but I have to say I enjoyed listening to radio guys describe Dontrelle's effort. After seeing him in person pitch in KC this year and watching him on the tube again against the Angels, I found it entertaining to hear how radio guys were trying to describe his funky motion and his histrionics on the mound. It sounded like John Gordon was really enjoying watching Willis even though the Twins were losing.
