Posted by Frank Klose According to Jayson Stark, Cole Hamels will undergo surgery to remove "loose bodies" in his pitching arm. As he notes, Hamels had a "sore shoulder" towards the end of the season, but he took only minimal time off. It's probably not too serious or he would not have pitched, but as […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth When St. Louis Cardinals Manager Tony LaRussa announced his postseason pitching rotation, there was jubilation- among the Phillies' fanbase. As Cardinals' ace Chris Carpenter pitched in the division-clinching win on Wednesday, he will be unable to pitch until Game 3. But LaRussa also made the surprising move of holding his 2nd […]

Posted by Danielle Wilson To put it simply, Cole Hamels just didn't have it tonight, and the Nationals took advantage of that. His struggles started early, walking two in the first inning, but striking out Jayson Werth with two outs and a man on third. Disaster number one averted. In the second inning, Wilson Ramos […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of The 700 Level I wouldn't want to face a team with game faces like that. Yikes. Even worse for the Giants, Cole Hamels started today against Matt Cain. Some early offense to back up Hamels gave the Phillies a comfortable lead after one inning. Jimmy Rollins scored on Hunter […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Rockies took an early 2-0 lead in the third inning when Seth Smith homered to score Ty Wigginton. Raul Ibanez (who else?) doubled in the first run for the Phillies tonight in the seventh inning. Hunter Pence scored after he had singled to get on base. Cole Hamels pitched tremendously, […]
