Very impressed with houck tonight. His slider had bite and his fastball had some movement!

I think bringing him for a few starts this year was a good move.

Definitely. Not like we have much to lose

Everything about it is manageable. I kind of like it actually. I pick when I work on stuff, and I can take a break to watch a quick TV show or go to the gym or something. The only negative that is prevalent is the loneliness. There's days where I don't talk to anybody face to face, other than my parents. Not all days are like that though

Man that actually doesn’t sound too bad! Some people struggle online, but if you can handle it that sounds like a much better way to be. I know I like working at home (granted my kid can be a pain) sometimes being trapped in a single class or office can get so frustrating.

High praise for Houck from Marlins announcers.

[TylerD]

We got a shutout. Weird.

Mattingly: Marlins didn’t see the breaking ball good, Houck was effectively wild

[Larry Cook]

Houck got a few lefties out as well. Good win!

Mattingly (on Houck still): fastball always running in, breaking ball gets at you

It was definitely easier in the spring, because most professors kind of gave up once we got sent home, but there's definitely worse situations to be in right now. I'm a straight A student in a stable home with a job waiting for me after graduation (that won't be impacted by COVID). It's all about perspective

Deserves to be on cloud 9 right now. Fantastic pitching.
