PEDRO STROP RUMORS & GOSSIP
What's Up with Pedro Strop?
Pedro Strop came into yesterday's game in the 9th inning and turned what was a 9-4 romp into a relatively tense affair with the tying run in the on deck circle when Buck Showlater called in Jim Johnson to get the final out of the game. For Strop, it was 2/3 of an inning, 2 singles, a walk and a run surrendered.It was the latest in a string of disturbing outings for Strop over...
Leveraging the Orioles Bullpen
Last night the Orioles won another one-run game — no surprise there. Darren O’Day, Pedro Strop, and Jim Johnson combined for a scoreless 7th, 8th, and 9th — also no surprise. The Orioles bullpen is a major reason the team is tied atop the AL East. On Tuesday Jeff Zimmerman argued that successfully leveraging these relievers could partially account for the O’s performance...
The Orioles Are Out-Winning Their Run Differential
A lot has been made this year (including by me) about the Orioles' run differential (bad) not matching up with their actual record (good). The O's have been outscored by 45 runs, which would indicate that they should be more like 57-66 than 66-57 - and their other non-W-L stats back up that kind of view (below average offense, poor defense, OK pitching-staff). It's the...
The Unsung Relief Duo
The emergent stars in the Orioles bullpen, the best in the American League, have been Jim Johnson, establishing himself as an elite closer in 2012 and Pedro Strop as the setup man with the electric fastball.However, they have not been the best duo in the Baltimore pen. That honor belongs to Darren O'Day and Troy Patton.Patton and O'Day do not operate in the glamorous 8th...
Sitting Atop the AL East
When you look at the standings in the American League East there is a surprising team on the top of the list, the Baltimore Orioles. Currently sitting at 25-14, the Orioles are a half a game above the Tampa Bay Rays and sit in the top spot in the Al East. We’re only a month and a half into the 2012 MLB season, but the Orioles are showing that they can actually compete in the toughest...

Jason Hammel pitched six good innings,Hammel gave up 2 earned runs,stuck out 10 and gave up 6 hits. All and all Hammel had a great day for the Orioles. Matt Lindstrom came in for an inning of relief and walked one batter and stuck out two. Pedro...

Orioles reliever Pedro Strop is one of 10 players on the 40-man roster out of options, and the right-hander is focused on cracking the team's Opening Day bullpen.
