I think it would be interesting to claim Aumont (if he makes it to us). Put him down in the pen as a long man and try to work out his wild issues. He has a nice arm, is from Canada, and is controllable for a long time.
You just have to free up any minor league slots you want to make picks for before the draft starts. I believe you also need to promote (or cut) any prospects that have crossed the mandatory promotion threshold.
If it's intentional it's one of the dumbest things I've seen in a long time. You don't put the tying run at the plate in the 8th inning to hit a guy.
It wasn't intentional. Looks like Buckner was getting a talking to after from the other umps too (which probably means the O's will now hit someone and NOT get tossed)
I'd assume they'll let him try for the no hitter, but remove him immediately if he gives up a hit. It's not like he's a high end young arm that needs to be babied, he doesn't put a lot of stress on his arm, and he isn't a guy who relies on velocity.
Yeah, I don't get it either. Maybe Gibby said something really rude, although it looked like he just wanted an explanation and didn't get a chance to say much at all.
Nah, it would set a precedent for fans of other teams at road games to do so whenever they could in order to get calls for their team. Do your best to call it as it would have happened, and kick out the fan.
Martin could also move to 2nd I suppose. Realistically though, it's late in the game now and we're winning, you just bring Donaldson in and don't worry about losing the DH.
