The Phillies will enter an 'experimental' stage to find their next closer.
Brad Lidge simply isn't cutting it this point, having blown 11 saves. Setup man Ryan Madson has also struggled in crunch-time, leaving the injured Brett Myers as Manuel's preferred choice. Until Myers comes off the disabled list, however, Lidge should gain a couple more save opportunities. It's not a good situation to be in this late for the defending World Series champions.
