Newsbreakers
November 7, 2009
According to the
Our View:
The Phillies aren't too concerned about this procedure, as it is a fairly minor operation. The flexor tendon could be the bigger worry here, but overall this doesn't figure to be a huge deal.
October 15, 2009
According to the
Our View:
Lidge has earned a pair of one-run saves so far in the postseason, while Madson has blown two opportunities, so it's not tough to see who's got the hot hand. Manuel is likely just being coy, and fans should expect to see Lights Out on the mound in save situations. Still, there's no guarantee that his bouts of ineffectiveness won't return against the Dodgers.
October 12, 2009
Brad Lidge took to the mound in Game 2 of the NLDS with a one-run lead in the ninth inning. The struggling closer recorded the final three outs for his first save since October 30th. He allowed two baserunners on walks and needed 20 pitches to get through the frame.
Our View:
It was certainly a relief to see Lidge make an appearance in which he did not give up a run, but this was anything but smooth. He remains the de facto closer, but it's still possible manager Charlie Manuel turns to other pitchers in close situations this postseason.
October 6, 2009
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel has not committed to a closer for the National League Divisional Series, according to MLB.com's
Our View:
When Manuel was asked who would close game one, he responded, "Hard to tell. Whoever you see walk out there." It's clear the Phillies aren't planning on just blindly giving Brad Lidge and his 7.21 2009 ERA the ball with the game on the line this October.
October 5, 2009
Brad Lidge has started throwing a cut fastball, according to
Our View:
Lidge is famous for his fastball/slider combination, but he is apparently adding a third pitch for the playoffs after his meteoric 2009 struggles. It seems crazy for a pitcher to be adding a new pitch for the playoffs, but when you've struggled like Lidge has this year, you will likely try anything. He says he plans on only throwing it to left-handed hitters.
