He's got a good slider, too, but in the last couple years, he's learned to paint the corners with his 100-mile-an-hour fastball. If you're doing that, guys don't have a chance. I know it's hard to control your fastball sometimes, but he's found a way to have consistent mechanics to be able to paint the corners with his fastball. That's why he's dominating so much right now.
More Quotes from Brad Lidge:
The thing that can beat you in a situation like that is if you walk a bunch of guys. That's the last thing I wanted to do. Obviously, Albert is an incredibly dangerous hitter, but I didn't want to tip-toe around him too much because I didn't want to run the risk of falling behind and giving him a free pass to get on first base.Brad Lidge
Everybody could use Billy Wagner, ... There's not one team that could not use a guy like Billy Wagner. He's the best there is in baseball. He dominates guys. He played in a hitter-friendly park and had an unbelievable year. I don't know who's going to be lucky enough to get him, but everybody needs him.

I didn't want to pitch in this game. I wasn't expecting to. I felt a little emotion because Taylor had thrown such a great game and I wanted to make sure I left everything out there against Bay tonight. Fortunately I was able to get him.

Every time he pitches, ... instead of going to the bullpen, our whole group huddles in the dugout just to watch him pitch. It's something our bullpen has done since he started here. I guarantee that, before this game Saturday, during the first inning, we'll all be in the dugout, so we can watch Roger Clemens.
