“starting to get 50-, 60-mph winds, and the phones are going in and out. Tell Brett everything's OK. A tree did fall on my aunt's house, which is right by Mom's, but everyone's OK.”

“His last two starts have been much better, ... His velocity (Thursday), he topped out at 89 (mph) and he averaged 88. His control is much better. ...
