Before yesterday’s game against the Mets, Phillies closer Brad Lidge threw a 30 pitch bullpen session. Apparently it went well, as he did not experience any discomfort in his knee. Lidge should resume closing the next time the Phils have the lead in the ninth. Move him back into the starting lineup immediately.
Cole Hamels was also supposed to throw a bullpen session yesterday, but the Phillies held him back. They apparently did not want him to throw in the rain with a sprained ankle, which was the right move. He will try to throw today instead, and if it goes well he will only see his next start pushed back one day to Tuesday rather than skipped altogether. So it is still wait and see mode with Cole.
