Lidge has settled down to cash in his last four save chances

Source (mlb.com) (P - phi) | 0 comments.

Lidge has settled down to cash in his last four save chances since back-to-back implosions vs. the Yankees in New York. It�s been a roller coaster ride for Lidge this year, as he�s blown four saves and been touched for six long balls, lending to an unsightly 7.71 ERA.

Lidge picks up 12th save

Source (fanball.com) (RP - phi) | 0 comments.

Brad Lidge pitched a 1-2-3 inning en route to his 12th save of the season against Washington on Sunday.

Our View: Lidge has picked up a save each of the past three days and has looked great in his past four outings since blowing two-straight saves against the Yankees last week. He appears to be back on track, although you may want to consider benching him tomorrow if you're league has daily lineup changes, as it's unlikely manager Charlie Manuel would send him out to the mound for a fourth-straight day.

Lidge gets the save

Source (fanball.com) (RP - phi) | 0 comments.

The Phillies' allowed three runs in the ninth inning on Tuesday, but it wasn't when Brad Lidge was on the mound. He came in for the final two outs and mopped up the mess, earning his ninth save. He walked a man and struck out one as well as the Phillies beat the Marlins 5-3.

Our View: Lidge has been so bad this season that pundits are wondering if he's been hurt or if something is wrong mentally, or with his delivery, or if he's tipping his pitches, and so on and so forth. Tuesday's outing was a positive sign and hopefully Lidge can build from there.

Manuel will stick by Lidge

Source (fanball.com) (RP - phi) | 0 comments.

The AP reports that Phillies manager Charlie Manuel will stick with Brad Lidge as his closer, despite blowing back to back save chances against the Yankees this past weekend. Lidge has blown four of 12 chances this season after converting all 48 of his opportunities a season ago.

Our View: Lidge has an awful 9.15 ERA through 21 appearances this season. At Yankee stadium this weekend he gave up four runs in 1.1 innings of work. The closer may be lacking confidence which has been a problem for him in the past. Ryan Madson would be the likely alternative to close games should Lidge ever lose the job.

Mike Fitzpatrick, of The Associated Press, reports Philadelphia Phillies CL Brad Lidge allowed three runs on three hits in one-third of an inning Saturday, May 23, to blow his third save of the season.

Source (mlb.com) (P - phi) | 0 comments.

Nobody's perfect, Lidge's 2008 performance notwithstanding, and this very imperfect outing ensured that the Philadelphia closer was saddled with his third blown save and second loss of the season. He seemed to be putting it together after allowing runs in six straight early May outings, but this doozy inflated his WHIP to 2.06 and his ERA to 9.16. He may still be struggling with the knee inflammation he was dealing with earlier in the season, but whatever it is, he doesn't look quite like himself.
