Phillies manager Charlie Manuel might want to add Mother Nature to his holiday card mailing list.

According to David Murphy of The Philadelphia Daily News, pitcher JA Happ will start Sunday night’s NLDS Game 3 instead of Pedro Martinez.

JA Happ will now start for the Phillies in Game 3 of the NLDS on Sunday night.

Martinez had been scheduled to start Saturday night, however that game was postponed due to snow and extremely cold temperatures. He was the only Phillies starter with full rest after Uncle Charlie used both Happ and Joe Blanton in relief of Cole Hamels on Thursday.

Now, Happ can throw on Sunday, likely followed by Cliff Lee on Monday.

Mother Nature has handed the pitching advantage over to the Phillies since the Rockies batted just .210 against lefties this season.

If needed, lefty Cole Hamels could get a chance to redeem himself in a Game 5 on Tuesday. Otherwise, he’ll likely get Game 1 of the NLCS against the winner of the Dodgers-Cardinals series, which could be decided later today.
