  1. Stripling is a class act and such a nice guy. Dodger fans will miss him. Good luck in Toronto.

  2. Probably a nice guy but I wont miss the Hanging breaking balls being blasted over the fence.

  3. Strip’s first MLB was a almost no hitter….almost being the skipper pulled him on a pitch count total and the pen couldn’t keep the no-no. His potential is good and with a good pitching coach he can excel. Good luck Strip!

    1. Kid Brooklyn: “…with a good pitching coach”? Stripling had Rick Honeycutt his entire career until this year. Honeycutt was considered one of the best pitching coaches ever. Good luck, Ross!

  4. He was a niece guy but you couldn’t really count on him gave up to many curve ball HR’S the rookie Tony G will replace him easily he is more consistence on the mound and has a bright future.

  5. Stripling had issues thinking he could pitch up in the zone. Many if not all those 12 HRs he gave up this year were up in the zone and he didn’t have the stuff to survive up there.

  6. They traded the wrong guy. IMO They should of traded Wood. Ross is not a starting pitcher but with our power pitchers his stuff would be a change of pace as a long reliever when our guys can’t even get through 5 innings just saying I prefer Ross over Wood. Anyhow I hope he tears it up with the Jays but I bet you he will be relieving over thier as a starter or relieving when thier guys struggle
