No Walks for Willis! This guy could be huge for us in the stretch run if he can pitch with control.
I agree, Chief. He was hit hard, though, by Class A guys. ‘Get me over’ pitches, you think?
My gosh, they sure did change his delivery. That picture says a thousand words. If anyone can make it, DTrain will. But that is a drastic change. We may not get much from him til next year although he’s aiming for a September comeback.
RIP high-kick.
Well, considering he’s actually delivering the ball in that photo, I wouldn’t be writing a eulogy for the high kick. I do notice that his glove hand is STILL hanging around his shin, though. You’re not supposed to do that.
