This may answer another question

Just received a text from Rattlers pitching coach Chris Hook.

Cody Adams will be starting tonight. Daniel Meadows will come on in relief as part of the tandem. This is a switch from how it was set up before the series.

No reason was given, nor was one required. This is what is going to happen tonight.

May 30, 2009: Research from elsewhere

I didn't get to use this tidbit from an e-mail last night, but with Daniel Meadows pitching tonight...
Jared Gayhart went to Katy High School – district rival of Cinco Ranch High School where Daniel Meadows played. Katy HS was District Champion his senior year – 2005; and Cinco was the Champion the next year when Daniel was a senior. They later played on the same summer team- before Jared went to Rice.
Gayhart pitched a scoreless ninth inning last night for the Whitecaps.

Thanks for the tip.
