Brad Lidge and Charlie Manuel had a meeting to discuss the struggling closer’s role with the
Philadelphia Phillies. Lidge and Manuel spoke after Wednesday night’s game against Washington. The following day, the manager wouldn’t say if or when Lidge will get his job back as closer.
“We’re really on the same page with everything. We had a good talk,” Lidge said.
Lidge converted all 48 of his save chances last year, including the postseason, to help the Phillies win the World Series. This year, he has 10 blown saves in 38 opportunities.
“I see him as a closer,” Manuel said.
