I'd say that Asdrubal can keep up the pace he's at right now and probably LaPorta and Brantley as well. The candidates to taper off would probably be OC and Hannahan. Grady Sizemore will cool off a little bit from where he is now but I still think he'll have a very good season.
Pitching-wise I'd say Perez, Perez and Sipp will continue their form while Pestano might hit a few rough patches. With the way he throws the ball, Tomlin will also be susceptible to some rough outings.

                                Tribe hitters have to make an adjustment. First 3 in the line up pulled ground balls on outside pitches. If he is gonna stay out there, go the other way.

                                We are awesome at getting a hit with two outs tonight. Unfortunately no one is on when it happens. Grady with a leadoff double in the third and getting no runs out of it may hurt us.

                                Despite the two home runs Tomlin is pitching a beauty tonight. So far only 67 pitches through 6 innings and the only hits the A's have are those two home runs.

                                Hopefully The As change pitchers in the 8th. This guy has good stuff, but he's at 117 pitches.

                                Tomlin has been outstanding. Gotta get him a couple runs here.

                                Tomlin is straight dealing. He has made one mistake and DeJesue made him pay on the 2nd home run. I actually thought the first homer he hit was a good pitch and DeJesus just put a nice swing on it.
