Everybody's safe. We have a ranch in the hill country of Texas, about an hour east of Del Rio. Pearland is a suburb on the south side of Houston, and they were getting a lot of water.

It's kind of been like a big whirlwind.
I've been a starter all my life until now, ... so I'd love the opportunity to finally pitch in the role I'm used to pitching in, and work through the lineup a little, as opposed to getting three outs.
I'm not quite where I want to be. We still have a lot of work to do, a lot of conditioning. I feel that I am a little behind as far as stamina and stuff, but I think we're in the right direction.
If I get that out, I think it's a totally different inning. My best pitch is my fastball. I don't need to fool guys with off-speed pitches ---- just go after them. It's a good lesson learned early in the season.
It's just a bad night, and it's water under the bridge now. If I let that bother me, I'm (in trouble). I know I can pitch at this level.
I decided to trust my stuff, and it ended up working out.
Yeah, it looked like a strike to me,
It's nice to have kids to come out and meet us, and we get to meet them. It's kind of a little reward for them for some of the things they are doing in their academic program. I'm glad to be a part of it and it's kind of exciting to see smart young kids.
