Actually let me just do my guess at the 25:

SP - Colon, Parker, Gray, Griffin (4)
RP - Balfour, Doolittle, Cook, Anderson, Blevins, Otero, Chavez (7)
C - Norris, Vogt, Suzuki (3)
IF - Donaldson, Lowrie, Sogard, Callaspo, Barton, Moss (6)
OF - Crisp, Reddick, Cespedes, Smith, Young (5)

Notable omissions: Freiman, Straily, Milone, Neshek

I almost 100% agree with your assessment. The only exception being Straily makes it, while Otero doesn't.

Haven't seen any updates on the A's roster page, either. Ditto for the Tigers. I figure it's gotta come within a day or two.

Green & Gold Heart · 10-01-2013, 04:22 PM

And now the A's have flipped their rotation around a bit too. It's Colon in Game 1, Sonny Gray in Game 2, Jarrod Parker in Game 3, and Dan Straily in Game 4.

You were right about Straily, mirrf. Now we're left wondering if Griffin is in the pen or off completely.

EDIT: Sounds like Griffin is out completely for the ALDS with a tendinitis issue in his elbow.

A?s set ALDS roster « Major Lee-ague

It kinda makes sense if you squint real hard and over-think. The rookie Gray at home instead of on the road. But for me I don't think it matters much.

I gotta be right sometime.

I like Griffin more than Straily, but if he's hurt, he's hurt.

Best wishes to you A's folk - here's to a hopefully great series.

Green & Gold Heart · 10-05-2013, 01:30 AM

Well, we dropped one at home. Goodbye, homefield advantage.

Sonny Gray was a revelation! Really impressed that he was able to hold his own against Justin Verlander...

Donaldson and Lowire flipped. I like it better. Neither has done much this series.

Don't skip work, game ends while I'm in a meeting.

But still, happy dance!

Green & Gold Heart · 10-07-2013, 05:37 PM

Woot! One more! Let's do it tomorrow because I don't think I can handle another Game 5.

RandyTiger · 10-07-2013, 06:18 PM

I gotta admit, the A's are really surprising me with their pitching. Well done, lads!

Same lineup as yesterday.

Gotta think short hook on Straily, with Anderson ready to go in the bullpen if Straily's not sharp.
