Yeah, it looked like a strike to me,

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.

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.

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.

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.
