So funny how this thread has no posts from 5/26 to 6/26. I wonder why it disappeared? What was Lidge doing during that month? Oh yea, 7 saves in a row, and dropping his ERA two points, from 6.60 to 4.60.
You haters are so hilarious. Lidge is far from done. He's not tipping his pitches anymore and he's fixed his mechanics. He's pitching great again.
He had a bad performance last night. Every pitcher does.
Lidge's ERA by month this season:
April: 6.39
May: 4.15(OMG 4.15 he is awesome)
June: 6.30
I guess though if he can keep his ERA below 3 times what it was last year, he's doing a good job. He has those intangibles that you love to see in a closer. He holds runners well, he has that intimidating glear, and that disgusting little red goatee that so many Astros have.
Umm, way to twist the facts. May is when Lidge's trouble's were at their peak, and when his pitch tipping problem was discovered. Those numbers reflect a horrible beginning to the month and then a sharp turnaround once he was taken out of the closer's role and got his mechanics worked out. How bout looking at the numbers since that time and before last night's game? Lidge was having a damn fine month of June until last night's performance, which is just something that happens to pitchers now and then.
Lidge is back in form, but I don't expect you to know that, since I doubt you watch very many Astros games.
You guys just like to bash the guy given the opportunity. I still think it's quite funny how silent ya'll were when he was tearing it up this last month.
