[Editor's Note: Promoted from the FanPosts, for some good ol' offseason discussion. We've already had some good comments and conversation on this post, so let's open it up to the front page. -- Ian] Yeah, I know; everyone is doing this right now. But with a dearth of interesting, baseball-related news right now (at least for those of us still too heart-broken to care about the World Series), I needed something to occupy my time. Admittedly, I'm not ...

Minor Issues: Brown IL Player of the Week; Aeros bounce back

Tue, 26 May 2009 13:29:35 -0500

WHAT'S THE NEWS

In celebration of Jordan Brown's awesomeness, he has been named International League Player of the Week for his awesomeness last week. He capped it off with that 2 HR, 4-4 game on Sunday.

What would he do on Memorial Day? You don't have to wait.

COLUMBUS

Guess he would go 0-4. No one else did much though as the Clippers got creamed by Charlotte, 11-1.

Remember yesterday when I said call up Kirk Saarloos?

Yeah don't do that.

He gave up eight runs off 13, yes 13, hits and 3 walks in four runs.

Steven Wright made his return to Columbus by giving up three runs. No one else in the pen would give up runs, which is cool, but Masa Kobayashi gave up a few hits in his scoreless inning. Attributing to the 20 hits.. Fantastic.

Michael Brantley did have a good night, doubling twice, and knocking in the lone Clipper run.

AKRON

The Aeros returned fire on Erie after turning in a clunker of a game. This team just doesn't go through bad stretches. They lose a game and come right back be awesome. That's what they did on Monday against Erie winning 8-1.

The Aeros banged out nine hits, with each player in the lineup getting a hit, except for Cristo Arnal who had none and Niuman Romero who had two.

Beau Mills and Matt McBride doubled, as did Nick Weglarz who in addition to doubling, knocked in two runs. Carlos Santana also knocked in a run, but his was via the longball, his seventh of the year and he also walked twice.

Carlos Rivero and Jose Constanza both knocked in two runs each as well.

Hector Rondon had a moderate return to greatness, going six innings and giving up just the one run. He did give up just three hits, but he walked four.

Carlton Smith went three scoreless innings with just two hits to pick up his first save.

This game was not without controversy though, as the Aeros had one of the biggest crowds in Canal Park history.

The big inning, which set a season high for runs in an inning, began with first baseman Beau Mills' hard shot toward the right-field wall that was ultimately ruled a ground-rule double after a fan in the bleachers reached over and grabbed the ball before it either: A) could go over, or B) Erie's Brennan Boesch could get to it on the bounce.

Aeros manager Mike Sarbaugh sprinted out of the dugout and into shallow right field to argue the merits of option A with the umpire who made the call, but to no avail.

''It was a borderline call that could have gone either way,'' Sarbaugh said. ''But a fan went over the fence so we'll never know. For a minute there, I thought Jeffrey Maier came back . . . It could have been a home run, but without the luxury of instant replay, it's hard to tell.''

KINSTON

Kinston's game with Potomac was suspended in the second inning. Hip-Hip, Horray?

LAKE COUNTY

The Captains got dunked on with a 10-5 loss to West Virginia yesterday.

Two hit nights for John Allman and Chris Nash, with Nash knocking in two runs.

Mark Thompson hit a solo-home run and Abner Abreu knocked in another run.

Danny Salazar didn't get any defensive help from Chris Nash, so he gave up seven runs, but only three of them were earned. He did last just 2.2 innings.
