Monday, July 31: Orioles finish July in Canada

Good job by Coulombe escaping that jam, but I hope Elias' reaction to watching that was the team needs a reliable 7th/8th inning option out of the bullpen.

Demoting him to AAA does not mean that the O's are giving up on Cowser. 

I agree. I meant more.. the fans that at least here in OH.. are acting like he’s a lost cause (hyperbole I know.)

[Moshagge3]

Stroman lowered his trade value some more tonight. Three innings, six ER. 

[Just Regular]

Like Wells and Cano, Coulombe has contributed mightily to the success achieved so far but he also gives me a hanging by a thread feeling.

Coulombe went 2-0 on 3 straight batters and was effective after behind 2-0, crazy.

And the bullpen inconsistencies continue.

Alright.. I'll eat my words for that inning at least

Mountcastle loves the Jays.

[Moshagge3]

Wow, this dude has a curveball like that and he gives Mounty a fastball?

[Gurgi]

I might have to reevaluate my hatred of Mountcastle.  Especially if he decides to start hitting again.  

[NCRaven]

Mountcastle hasn’t read his Hangout obituary, apparently.

[Roy Firestone]

need this run!

It’s hard to feel great about anyone in our bullpen besides Felix. 

Even though our bullpen has now pitched 6 innings last night and tonight without allowing a run (except 1 inherited runner by Baumann last night?)

And has not allowed more than one guy to reach base in any of those innings?

Look, I didn't want Coulombe to walk the leadoff batter either.  But listening to the whiners on this board every time a reliever doesn't have a perfect inning, it's just over the top.  Last night, Coulombe allowed a guy to reach on an error and got 3 outs.  Tonight he walked a guy and got 3 outs.  I think that's pretty darn good on back to back nights but the sky is apparently falling the way everyone goes into panic mode is just insane.

Nice AB, Ryan. Think about sliding next time.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Can we hypnotize Mountcastle so he thinks he's hitting at Rogers Centre every single game?
