Is pitch selection really Brad Lidge's fault? I didn't get to watch the game, THANK GOD, because I was at work. But, when I got home and watched the replay it seemed like Lidge threw a very good pitch to Nady. Ausmus only had to move his glove because the pitch was a bit lower than he wanted. Brad threw a 96 mph fastball on the inside corner at the knees. Why is Brad Lidge getting hammered about this? If Ausmus is the great game caller that everyone seems to think he is, why is he calling first pitch fastballs to first pitch fastball hitters who have a history of starting the season on a hot streak?
