Sal Perez isn't starting. He's just Wieters replacement. Likely Norris from the A's will start.

[jamminj]

Actually perez is starting. They said so on SNB.

TBH, I'm surprised Betances made it over Sale. Are Neshek and Watson having amazing seasons or something? I must be sleeping on both of them.

Neshek and Watson are having good seasons but seeing as Matheny is manager it was probably a take my guy kinda thing plus Watson is in the Central same as the Cardinals so they see them alot and probably a respect thing?

I know Watson has been on and off the past few season. Great lefty matchup guy for Pittsburgh though. I'm more surprised to see Neshek on there than anything.

Yeah Neshek was horrible for the Athletics last year and I wouldn't be surprised if it was just something that Matheny did because he has the power over the all star pitching roster

Off topic....(Apologies)

But....

What would you call Betances off speed pitch? Knuckle Curve? Slurve? Slider? (I know the below link says knuckly curve but there seems to be some conjecture)

I'm asking because I'm doing a MLB The Show roster and can't decide what the pitch is.

[User27]

Neshek is having a very good year and deserved to go. His stats speak for themselves: 40 games, 2-0, 2 saves, 0.77 ERA, & .57 whip

[jamminj]

Kyle Seager is replacing Encarncion.

Seager deserved to be on the AS Roster. Third base is still deep in the AL even with Miggy at first now.
