You know, when I think about Charlie persisting in his use of Brad Lidge not only in non-save, but in mop up situations, like today, I can't help but think about the stubborn stupidity of Jim Fregosi in 1993 culminating in using a totally fried Mitch Williams, because "we dance with who nring us".
FACT IS, regardless of the braindead who insist otherwise, closers are motivated by the situation. Take a gander at the stats and it is CRYSTAL CLEAR that MOST CLOSERS blow up in non-save situations.
STOP Charlie, PLEASE STOP! Perhaps Lidge needs work, that's why there's a bullpen. It does NOTHING for his confidence when he goes in with a 7 run deficit and gives up three more. PLEASE STOP! PLEASE!
