Great... good Strider better show up early
Strider with an extra day of rest might help with his velocity.
If it does, might be a good idea to go to 6-man rotation.
Any updates on fried and/or wright?
Neither has started throwing off the mound yet, but Fried is expected to return before Dylan Lee or Wright. Fried can be reinstated on July 5 and it sounds like he may begin a rehab stint around that time.
Outstanding
We could also limit his pitch count. We've let him go over 100 pitches too many times this year.

As the saying goes: "Married men out of the infield."
Yup... he threw a fastball at 97 but down the middle and it got destroyed for a homer.
Little concerned about the contact he’s allowing.
Strider has to figure this out. Anything he throws above 96 is either down the middle or a ball way out of the zone. He has no command of his fastball.
It's clearly not an injury... so he needs to work through this. it's part of the development process... and it's brutal.
3 deep fly balls so far.
Strider has been around a year now and he's slowly being figured out. He now has to adjust as well.

Maybe. In a way, I'm sure that's true. But he also was throwing 98-100 consistency last season and early this year... you don't figure out high-velo with movement. You can figure out 95-97 down the middle.
this is more the case. He can't hit 100 so guys just wait on a 96 fastball and crush it. He now needs to learn how to sequence and develop a 3rd pitch or he will just be a very expensive reliever who can empty the tank at 100 to close a game.

This scrub is going to Maddux them today huh

I don't get RaSorryio and his .700 OPS being so high up in the lineup with so many better hitters below him.

3 batters have 1 pitch ground outs... maybe take a pitch or two and lets see what happens.

To be fair, his sinker has a late-break and probably comes in looking like a fastball down the middle.
