Open Thread: Game 2 - A's at Angels
by Flashfire on Apr 7, 2009 6:00 PM PDT
Email
PrintLosing on Opening Night is nothing new for the A's. They've done it five seasons in a row. Getting shut out is also no big surprise. That's happened in three of those five losses.
There were a few firsts for the A's and some of their players last night (including Braden's first Opening Day start, Holliday getting a hit in his first AB with the A's and Bailey's debut, a quick 1-2-3 inning). There are more to follow tonight:
* Trevor Cahill's first Major League start, facing Dustin Moseley. Cahill has taken possession of Bob Geren's #53. Of course, Brett Anderson will get his first one on Thursday. Believe me, I'm glad the pitching probables are missing names like Santana and Lackey.
* The first runs for the A's this season. The good news is since coming to Oakland, the A's have never been shut out twice in a row to start the season, not that getting shut out by the Angels is fun at any time. Hopefully we don't see a first THERE with two straight games full of goose eggs.
This is also my first regular season gameday thread as I settle into the Tuesday spot, which pales in comparison to the rest but it's kind of nice to have something else to focus on with the baseball season underway. I've still been dealing with getting a new home, have had an offer accepted, and it looks like if all goes well I'll be moving to Elk Grove around the end of the month. It'll mean getting to fewer A's games but probably more River Cats and Ports games instead, plus an occasional drive to Reno to see the Aces (Arizona's Triple-A team, having moved from Tucson) play in their new ballpark downtown.
Let's get that first win tonight, A's! Stringing a few hits together along with the timely walk would help, but a homer or two wouldn't hurt either. Of course, I'm sure we're all hoping for a stellar debut by Mr. Cahill.
Details: 7:05 PM first pitch / TV: CSNCA+ / Radio: 860/1640 AM

Matt Holliday isn’t in the lineup tonight because of a “non-baseball related condition,” which means he’s ill.
He looked it yesterday,
lunging at pitches and seeming out of sorts at the plate; he did NOT look like the Matt Holliday we traded for. Glad to hear he wasn’t feeling 100%, actually.

Adopted Giant: Clayton Tanner

A quick thought about Cahill
I wouldn’t be too quick to assume that just because the Angels aren’t a patient team that he will get away with not throwing strikes. The Angels aren’t dumb, and they know the scouting report is “don’t chase the ball under the knees.” I suspect Cahill will need to prove he can hit the knees with his sinker before the Angels will start swinging freely.
If Cahill doesn’t throw a lot of strikes, even the Angels might walk 4-5 times against him. But if he does throw strikes early on, you can expect to see a lot of routine ground balls and then maybe some expansion of the strike zone as the game progresses.

I don't really care if he walks 4-5 people. As long as he gets ground balls on his sinker and
some strikeouts on his other pitches he’ll be fine. A walk is just the first step in a double play.

Hmm...It's a very good litmus test for his overall success
Cahill will not be successful in the major leagues walking a batter every other inning. If he walks a batter every three innings, however, he will be terrific.

Yeah - I'm just suggesting that the most important step, big or small,
is to throw strikes. If he gives up 8 hits and 1 BB in 6 IP and wins, I’ll be thrilled and optimistic going forward. If he gives up 3 hits and 4 BB in 6 IP and wins, I’ll be happy today but less optimistic going forward.

I mean I don't think Cahill's control in April 2009 has a lot to do with his long term
success. I think he’s a future perennial Cy Young contender (if healthy) no matter what his control is like now. A lack of control now would only tell me that he’s farther away from his peak.

What (and where) are a vegan’s choices at our lovely concrete bowl in Oakland? I’m bringing a buddy to Opening Night, and he’s vegan, so we would like to know what his options are.
Wait, is he a VEE-ginn or a VAY-gun?

Actually, don't say that, that wouldn't be very nice." -Steve Friend, Head Coach, Chabot College Gladiators Baseball
There is a salad/sandwich place near home plate
Salads might have cheese on them, though. I think your best bet might be to bring food along — check out the Vietnamese deli at Fruitvale BART. Though I am one of those who feels everything is better with bacon or foie gras on it, I do love me some papaya salad and tofu spring rolls.
vegan food
I’m vegetarian, so I have a few more options, but they have delicious steamed veggiedogs which might be made out of plastic. I’m not sure what they fry the fries in, but I’d suspect it’s vegan friendly – it depends how many questions you’re going to ask.
Actually, this is what I’d recommend – you’re allowed to bring food into the ground, so I’d pick up a burrito or falafel wrap or other handheld food of choice in the town where you live, and eat it when you get in.
Or, if you’re like me, eat it outside whilst you’re drinking tecate…

Thanks for the replies
I guess I should clarify – he’s not “full blown vegan” since he swears by cheese (it’s about the only flavor he can get), although he tends to steer away from other dairy products when possible.
Sorry I didn’t state that beforehand, I’m rather ignorant when it comes to what the differences are between vegan/vegetarians and what they eat (I like my steak). We’re definitely thinking it’s best he grab some food beforehand.

The lineup: Ryan Sweeney CF, Orlando Cabrera SS, Jason Giambi DH, Nomar Garciaparra 1B, Eric Chavez 3B, Jack Cust RF, Kurt Suzuki C, Travis Buck LF, Mark Ellis 2B.
