If you don’t like Pedro Strop because of how he wears his hat, stop reading right now. No, really, I’m only interested in engaging with Chicago Cubs fans who form at least semi-informed opinions and disliking a guy for how he wears his hat is anything but.

Over the last five-plus years, Strop carries a 2.63 ERA across 361 appearances. He’s never posted an earned run average higher than 2.
