Dodgers Sims: A Lidge Over Troubled Water

I think this series has shown what two equally good teams they are. Both teams have had great starting pitching, Hamels being the best outing of the bunch. The Dodgers defense has probably played a little better, but the biggest difference has been the two closers. Have Broxton and Lidge swap teams for the last two games, and the Dodgers are scurrying to avoid the sweep on sunday. Broxton has been his amazing self and Lidge has more than regressed back to the mean from last years amazing season. Kudos to Broxton (and the rest of his bullpen mates) and the Dodger hitters for taking advantage of the struggling Phillie closer. The pitching stats from the series are listed below…

Actually the stats are in the link.

Yay Dodgers. That was an exciting game to watch. And Ethier's final shot was a real bomb.

Doesn't Lidge get out of it if not for his defense?

Friday, yes, although you'd like your pitcher to overcome an error.
Saturday, not so much -- you can't expect your outfielder to take away home runs. This all may be bad luck (karma) making up for the good luck that Lidge had last year (not that he wasn't pretty good).

Notice how this all started with Lidge when ESPN started to show those Albert Pujols "The Machine" commercials?

Just saying.
