RYAN MADSON NEWS
Today in Philly Sports History: The Adam Eaton Contract, 2006
It probably made sense at the time. Well, maybe. With starters Randy Wolf and Cory Lidle gone from the previous season, and Ryan Madson moving back to the bullpen, the team had some innings to fill, and Adam Eaton's reputation as an innings-eater probably had something to do with...

The unthinkable might have finally happened. Charlie Manuel, who has been loyal to his players almost to a fault, may have finally had enough of Brad Lidge blowing games for the Phillies. After blowing 10 (!!) saves this season and nearly blowing another one on Tuesday night, Manuel...

Ryan Madson didn’t have a bad month, but a trio of blown saves made it feel that way. Madson may have the most fickle fan support of any Phillie, but that’s the life of a reliever, where only a handful of blow-ups can lead to a statistical and perceptual tailspin. There isn’t...

Have you ever seen Ryan Madson show that much emotion before? I thought for a second he might go apeshit spastic like K-Rod.After yesterday's win over the Brew Crew the magic number is down to 3 but more importantly the Phils may have found their closer. I know it was only one...
Feliz the Hero, Madson the Savior: PHILS WIN! Magic Number Is Now 1...
After an overall stagnant road trip and a poor start to the home series with the Astros, the Phils responded tonight. They got out to a big lead on some huge hits, and the bullpen kept that lead intact, even in a save situation. The Phillies won 7-4, and the Braves lost to the Marlins...

Never has anyone been so happy to go back to the Bronx. Oh my lord, did they make us sweat. I lost 10 years on my life in that ninth. This thing is far from over, boys.
Utley's first inning 3-run jack put the Phillies ahead early and with Cliff Lee on the mound they never looked...
Not A Laughing Matter: Phillies Falter Against AL Yet Again
Ryan Madson and the Orioles spoiled Ryan Howard's mini heroics. After spending much of last night in the hospital due to having a fever of 104, The Big Guy hit a huge 3-run pinch hit homer in the seventh to help the Phillies come from behind to take a 5-3 lead. It didn't last...

It looks like Ryan Madson isn't the answer at closer, either. One day after Phillies fans called for Brad Lidge's head after he blew his 9th save of the season, Madson proved that he wasn't much better in the role after he blew a 1 run lead against the Pirates on Wednesday...

With all the sucking the Phillies have been doing lately, it’s kinda hard to pinpoint one sucky player as the reason for their recent downfall. Jimmy Rollins is 0-for-his last 27 with four walks since the 19th of June, Ryan Howard has just one home run in his last 15 games, Pedro...

When Ryan Howard jacked his majestic 3-run pinch hit homerun to put the Phils ahead on Saturday night, I had the next day's headline ready to go- "From Hospital to Hero". Much to my dismay Ryan Madson came in and became the goat. Things haven't been going too well...
Today in Philly Sports History: Mad Dog Goes Wild Four Times in One Inning, 2006
As critical to the WFCs run last year as Brad Lidge was, you gotta give Ryan Madson almost as much credit for being a reliable, lockdown setup guy, who along with Lidge, assured that all Philly had to do was be the better team for seven innings to emerge victorious. Madson's aim...

After last night's peach of a game, Charlie Manuel made no official ruling on his closer, which means he's come to his senses and is going with feel. When it comes to comparisons, there's no question Brad Lidge can't hit the broad side of barn and Ryan Madson is the...

After: 12.7 IP, 8 ER, 16 H, 7 BB, 11 K

The Big Piece notwithstanding, the lack of situational hitting, and absence of a true bench threat, is a topic worth discussing. Until Ryan Madson coughed it up in the ninth (a topic we'll revisit later this morning) Chase Utley's first-inning homer would have been enough to...
