Keith Couch

[Doctor G]

Portland's most reliable pitcher since 7-1. Not as sexy as Henry Owens, but getting it done Maddux style.

Couch picks up his 11th win in just his 15th start for the Seadogs. Tied for 2nd in  wins. lus 5Ks vs 1 BB.

Keith Couch continues as one of he best relievers in the AFL

Keith Couch pitches a 7 IP CG(game 1 of DH) allowing just 1 run.  Second consecutive start going 7 innings.  Now an Eastern League leading 6-0 for Portland with an ERA under 2.50.
 
At age 24, isn't he the leading candidate to move up to Pawtucket to replace whomever the Sox call up for Doubront?

17-3 at AA over the last 2 seasons, probably gets the call with Mookie in the next few weeks

His issue is a logjam at Pawtucket. Unfortunately Couch is probably stuck in Portland until one of the five SPs gets called up. I assume he may get the call to cover for whomever takes Doubront's spot, but that would only be short term.

I also heard that Steven Wright is almost ready to come off of the DL.  The point about Couch, however, is that he'll turn 25 in 6 months, and given his success at AA, the Sox would want to see how his stuff plays at AAA while he's still a prospect.  He's a couple months older than Webster and just a few months younger than De La Rosa and Ranaudo.

Keith Couch picks up a 4 inning save in Portland's 6-3 win over NH today (5/26)  Couch was a "piggy back" starter following Steven Wright's 2014 debut.  Couch allowed just 1 hit, no walks, and had 3 K's in his 4 innings of work.

From May 16 thru June 11, Couch had a nice string of 6 solid outings that included a 4-inning save. He posted a 1.69 ERA with a 22/4 K/BB over 32 IP, while holding 132 batters to a .262/.290/.365/.655 line.
 
That came to an abrupt halt 2 weeks ago on June 16 when he was hammered for 7 ER on 10 H and 3 BB with 0 K over 3.1 innings at Erie.H
 
He hasn't pitched since then, and today he went on the 7-day DL.

Couch's last outing (June 16) was rough (7 ER in 3 1/3 IP). Said his elbow was acting up a little. Had a start skipped, but needs more time.
