Yeah, but do you send him out there again next inning? Screw tomorrow. We're still playing for today. I say send him out there.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Backe come in to pinch hit for Lidge since we are out of position players. At least Backe can swing the bat, and I guess he could potentially stay in and pitch, too.
Actually I was thinking the same thing. If Beltran blasts one real quick, Lidge should stay in the game.
