[Sterling Archer voice] "Phrasing!" [/Sterling Archer voice]
Trevor Cahill will start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Angels, and Rich Harden the second. Manager Bob Melvin said that he wanted Cahill to be able to follow his normal pregame routine.
There will be 35 minutes between games, and although Melvin did not mention it, Harden has experience working in the bullpen and pitching coach Ron Romanick has noted how quickly Harden can warm up.

The fact that Rich is starting the night game leads me to believe he will follow Cahill in the rotation next week and pitch Saturday's daygame in New York, but we should really just wait to see what the probables are when they get posted on Tuesday.
In other news: Gio Gonzalez is a sweetheart.
Gio Gonzalez returned from the All-Star Game with gifts for teammates; he gave outfielder David DeJesus a signed ball, and DeJesus ribbed Gonzalez for only getting 14 signatures.
