Strop in the 7th?

[Sammy Sofa]

is this the first Strop experience this year?

 

Nope.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Pedro's hop there

[Transmogrified Tiger]

is this the first Strop experience this year? Lets get strapped in

 

He pitched the 9th on Tuesday.

 

Interesting that he's pitching this inning. I wonder if Rondon goes the 8th if Strop goes 1-2-3 so he faces Goldschmidt and Peralta.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Surprised Strop didn't go deep there

[BigSlick]

the rare "Pedro Strop at bat"

[Omar]

Has a relief pitcher ever gotten a hit?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Has a relief pitcher ever gotten a hit?

nope, never once

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I still can't believe we got Strop AND Arrieta for the Steves (I honestly can't remember the other guys name)

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Goldschmidt watched 3 straight strikes looking for a low and away slider

Feldman. Frank Feldman.

Trivia question:

 

Who was the last Cubs relief pitcher to come on in relief and then homer in the next half-inning?

[Sammys Boombox]

Do I correctly remember Antonio Alfonseca getting a hit as a reliever in Montreal?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Welly needs to give back again. DP time.

Yep. He was 2-for-3 as a reliever in 2002. 2-for-14 in his career.

This feels like the longest non-extra inning game I've watched in years.

Oddly it's only 3:13 since first pitch. Seems longer
