He is saving Bautista. 

For what? We haven't clinched a damn thing and I hate Toronto. Do not want to give that team life and Baumann just did. On. A. Silver. Platter.

Some very questionable coaching decisions (Mateo in 9th batting, Bauman pitching in 10th) and some very poor at bats with runners in scoring position, like Adleys double then the guys behind him did nothing.  We simply didn't do enough to win today.

Coulombe might be ready before any of them.   He had a good inning in relief in Norfolk tonight.   He might be back by the weekend.

Good call. Coulombe would be a help right now too.

[O's84]

Pathetic.

He's already used his leverage guys, Do you think Fuji would have been the better option? He doesn't want to pitch Felix 2 innings every time he takes the mound, it's a long season and you have to account for all of these innings.

And Fuji just pitched back to back games

Fantastic

Baumann giving strong Tyler Wells vibes.

Lol, is that a good thing or bad thing?

And the hits I mean crappy pitching keeps coming 

[ExileAngelos]

Bautista stays in the game and we likely win in the bottom of the 10th.  I am so sick of this "gotta be careful/keep him fresh/now he's available for tomorrow" garbage.

He's not a moron, he can see the bigger picture while you can't see an inch in front of your face.

This is the one of the most important series we have left. The schedule is soft after this, plenty of time to “keep Bautista fresh” during those games. Keep washing Hyde‘s balls though, we all know you can’t get enough of him. 

[Aristotelian]

Ugh. Just when I thought he might get out of it.

[TopGunnar]

It’s ok Mikey, you get to go hang out with your old buddy Bryan Baker.

Actually I would rather them in the playoffs vs Seattle.  Still, you can’t risk hurting Bautista. 

[Dunk35]

DFA or Option Baumann at 1030pm please. 

[Moose Milligan]

Gonna be lucky to get 2/3 this series. I don’t trust Flaherty tomorrow.
