Lidge pitched 26 pitches on Tuesday and 14 yesterday, meaning he most likely will be unavailable next inning, or at best shaky as he usually is when working on 3 consecutive days.
So why did Garner hold Lidge on Sunday with a Monday offday but use Lidge in a 9-1 game on Tuesday, when he knew two close games against Maddux and Zambrano were on deck?
Questionable move at best. Should have pitched him Sunday, if not pitching him necessitated pitching him on Tuesday.
