Strop reminds me of this left hander the Cubs had about 10 years ago.....looked really good some of the time....great stuff. He was traded to Yankees. Forget name. The thing about him, after about three live pitches, you could tell he was either on....or off. I think maybe it was Pinella coaching.....you just prayed this guy could put it together....but he couldn't. Strop is this way....and Maddon should know this. You know if he is on in three pitches....and if he sucks, then don't sit there and hold your palm out with wishes in it.
