Yea... I guess its not really fair... but some of these catchers study game plans harder than a ton of coaches. Also, some of the minor league managers are really there to do more developing and teaching young players, and less "training" to become a MLB manager.
Wow, that guy struck out the side......but....but....LANCE happened. Let's go LIdge! Be Lights out Lidge!
toughest part about getting the opponent feeds so often is having to hear over and over about "whether lidge will bounce back after the way he ended last year" followed by a run-through of his (past) problems. Funny thing is, they seem to think he's completely normal this year since he's 7-7 in save opps. They think he's back to Lights Out standard.. you'd think they could look at the ERA and BA they put up and realize it's not QUITE there yet. (but it will be!)
NO so Lights out Lidge. TRIPLE with 1 out. UGH! LIDGE!!!!!!!!!! WHEELER SHOULD HAVE FINISHED THIS GAME OFF.
Brad Lidge hasn't been himself since the Cubs series at the end of last year. His facial reaction doesn't seem right. He seems nervous everytime he goes out IMO.
wheels faced the bottom of the lineup..lidge is up top..with the lefties. don't be so certain wheels woulda fared better..
Are u implying that he may have stopped using something that made him more confident, and helped a guy with a history of arm trouble suddenly become healthy? I just think we're looking at Lidge in a vaccume right now... a small sample size since the end of the 2005 season, the playoffs, and now the rocky start.
Only one way to know for sure though.... GO LIDGE!!! ugh....that was bs. Full count.....I'm biting my nails.
Honestly, at this point, I'll be happy with a tie game after 9... never thought I'd say that about Lights Out.
