In the event you didn't have enough concerns with the Phillies before they go to the playoffs (they are still going to the playoffs, right?), here's another: Cliff Lee.

Yeah yeah yeah... he looked as dominant as any pitcher in baseball after arriving. But in the last month? Not so much.

After going 5-0 with a 0.68 ERA in his first five starts since arriving from Cleveland, Lee is 2-3 with a 6.17 ERA.

Heading into Friday night, opponents were hitting .350 against Lee in the last 30 days.

“If you have a not-so-good outing, that doesn’t concern me, but if you go three or four, yeah. I’d like to see him pitch like he did the first three or four times,” Manuel said. “Unfortunately that didn’t happen.”

Lee likely has one more start remaining before the postseason.

So who are you giving the ball to in Game 1 of the playoffs?



That is, of course, as long as the Phils don't pull a 1964 here.
