Yeah, since Stripling's ERA went above 7 and he went and asked for some tips/help from the coaching staff, his 6 starts since his ERA is down close to 2.00. And in that stretch he's pitched against Tampa, Boston, Cleveland, Houston, the Yanks and now Miami. Some some big hitting ball clubs too, definitely not gimme's.
Atkins is starting to look like a genius for going out and getting him.
