It’s been quite a long time since Lights Out Lidge and the perfect season.

On the other hand, having Lidge, Bastardo, and Madson all available and heatlhy at the same time should discourage the opposition from trying to wait out our starter and get to the bullpen..

I sure hope so, but I really, really don’t feel confident. I think it will be interesting to see what the Phillies do with their bullpen at the start of the second half (assuming Madson is back soon and Lidge not long after that). Madson still seems like the choice to close if he, Lidge and Bastardo are all available.

The two “fastballs” he threw were 86 and 88 mph. Let’s hope he has a bit more velocity than that by the time he gets to Philly.

Looking forward to seeing fewer than 4 Mets per inning. :)
