Alex Wood & Ross Stripling swap has been a disaster
Two weeks ago, Dave Roberts announced that Alex Wood will be moving to the bullpen. In the move, Ross Stripling would be added back into the starting rotation.
Safe to say, things haven’t gone as planned. Over the last two weeks, both players have drastically underperformed.
Stripling has made three starts, failing to pitch more than 3 1⁄3 innings in each start. He’s coming off his worst start of the season, where he lasted only 1 2⁄3 innings against Arizona. He allowed three runs and walked two, and left the game with the bases loaded.
In 8 1⁄3 innings, he’s allowed eight runs and 12 hits.
