Trust
Phil Garner opted not to utilize Brad Lidge in last night's one-run loss to the Diamondbacks. Here is the Chron's Jose de Jesus Ortiz's take:
Luke Scott did almost everything Friday night while becoming the first Astros rookie and only the sixth player in franchise history to hit for the cycle.
But he couldn't make up for the club's lack of trust in Brad Lidge against lefthanded batters in an 8-7, 11-inning loss. (emphasis added)
Just so we're clear: The problem is not Lidge; the problem is the "club's lack of trust in Brad Lidge." Lidge's ERA in July is a mere 7.45. So why don't they trust him?
