Open Thread: Game 2 - A's at Angels (cont.)

Trevor Cahill's first inning in the bigs is a struggle as Slegnaball (grr, grr) leads to a 1-0 deficit for the A's. Cahill has thrown 27 pitches already and had to work out of a bases-loaded jam.


New gameday thread after just one inning. Is this a record?

I think Cahill is just a little too amped up right now.

When his sinker has been 87-89 it has some good sink and usually been in the strikezone. When he gets it up to 91-92 he’s having trouble locating it. Hopefully he can settle down and throw that 87-89 sinker more often.
