Strop appreciation thread

[Careless]

Because this guy deserves it, even if he re-pumpkins again tomorrow.

 

Nice job as a Cub so far, Pedro.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We managed to trade Feldman for two pitchers who are both simultaneously outperforming him in the present and have brighter futures.

 

Dang it, Theo, why you gotta give me glimpses like this.

Because when he's given free reign to spend, the trades will happen too, just on a grander scale. As for this trade, I hope they give Strop the 9th, he deserves it. Arrieta has as much ability as anyone in our rotation, other than Shark, I think Baltimore is really going to hate this deal.

My father's father died when my dad was like 9 years old. When I asked my dad once what he remembers about his dad, he said that he remembers his strop the most.
