Brad Lidge is staying true to course, even though giving up game-winning home runs in his last two appearances. "You don't expect him to do that, he's not a home run guy during the regular season," Lidge said. "Give him credit. I didn't want to fall behind, 3-1, so I threw him a fastball and he got it. Give a lot of credit to him. It [stinks], but what are you going to do?" One thing Lidge won't do is start second-guessing himself or changing the approach that helped him rack up 42 saves during the regular season. "I'm not going to change my approach. I'm going to stick to my guns," Lidge said. "I'm not going to change a thing. I'm ready to get back out there. It was a fastball out over the plate and he hit it. He's not a home run hitter obviously and he did a great job. Unfortunately, it wasn't a great night to be a bullpen guy on either side." Inevitably, Podsednik's dramatic shot rekindled the question of Lidge's situation, coming as it did on the heels of Pujols' stunner. Once was a tough break, twice could be also, but already some are beginning to wonder if there is more to it than that. Not Lidge and the Astros. The right-hander wouldn't blame the miserable conditions and insisted he's fine. "It was just wrong location," Lidge said. "That [Pujols homer] was a different situation entirely. It's frustrating, but it is what it is, we didn't get this game tonight. It was a tough night to be a bullpen guy for either team and I just happened to be the last one out there. But I'm not going to change my approach. I'm going to give Podsednik a lot of credit and get back out there next time." As he has his entire career, Lidge faced the media onslaught with the character and dignity he routinely exudes in these situations. He was disappointed obviously, but not devastated. When asked if he was worried about Lidge's confidence being shaken, catcher Brad Ausmus said: "Not at all. He's fine."
