Wow! What happened to the pitching?

Especially Gallagher! Why was he coming out of the pen? I thought he was going to start? Does this mean Cahill makes the starting 5? Could it be MAC time, or C time already? Probably not, but I am a little concerned about G. No magic watermelons today!

Well, we've learned that Sean may not be comfortable coming out of the pen

The A’s aren’t turning him into a reliever; it was just a ST occurrence as they try to get everyone their innings.
