All Lefties: Lee to go in Game 4, following Happ


Charlie Manuel has finally set his rotation for the NLDS.

After J.A. Happ pitches Game 3, Cliff Lee will take the ball for Game 4. Manuel announced that during a teleconference a few minutes ago.

This obviously helps the Phillies quite a bit: Lee shut the Rockies down for eight innings before losing a shutout in the ninth in Game 1's win.

If the Phils had played today, Lee wouldn't have been available until Game 5. Now, if they win Sunday, they have a very good chance of putting the series away with Lee in Game 4.

It also solves any possible Game 5 dilemma. If the Phils play a win-or-go home Game 5, Cole Hamels gets the ball.
