[Official] Pirates @ Astros

come again?

 

The ball still hasn't come down.

I'm glad I flipped over from 24.

 

Boo birds are flocking.

 

Wow, MMP is already full of BOOOS. That didn't take long. Great job Lidge!

 

omg who didnt see this coming

 

And now he follows up that HR by allowing a line drive double down the left field line.

The guy has lost his explosive fastball, he just tosses hittable fastballs...up in the zone.

Cmon guys it was just last year. I mean its just Spring Training.

Oh its not spring training?

 

Carlos Lee to put the ball out the park for the astros win

 

and the new RAFER ALSTON

 

That guy's name is Doumit. DOoooooooooumit!

 

As they should.

 

Seriously guys, you didn't see this coming?

 

And this is against the lowly Pirates...imagine the horror against the better teams.

Lidge is too shaky to be a closer right now...put him in middle relief and if he earns his way back to closer - great.

I stand by that statement...there's no way to tell what he would do ... and now we know

 

His fastball is about 93 and up in the zone....that is NOT good....

i completely agree

 

This is what I've been saying all along. He needs to prove that he can pitch reliably for a good month or so before he can be our closer again. Instead we keep throwing to the wolves with no success.

It's hard to improve and work through your issues when you are under the microscope of being the closer.

 

man i cant imagine how lidge feels right now. get him outta there gar.

 

Oh, man, I was laughing so hard when he gave that up. OMG!!!

That is unbelievable.

 

And his first strikeout wasn't even all that impressive considering he left his pitches up in the zone...then got bailed out on a 2-0 count.

Wow... I don't think he'll be pulled from the closer's role after this game...but I think he's done...he continues this he'll be gone in a week.
