Cole Hamels just pitched a great game but only 4K in 9IP???

[The Artful Dodger]

Pfft...what Cafe-ism? Everyone and their grandmothers know it's impossible for anyone to have a 3 HR game.

If you read this, Cole Hamels just struck you out.

not me i bunted

Well, you struck out by bunting, but that sounds just as impossible like a 3 HR game doesn't it?

[Nomarrrrrrrrrr]

Nomarrrrr -- the fact that you'r still in this argument, make you sound like a total jerk using another total jerk's monikerrrrrr.


You present no substance to show that anything is 'wrong' with Hamels.
He's a pitcher that got 27 outs. Nothing wrong about that.
Hamels got torched by FLA and HOU, and then bounced back to throw a CG shutout vs CIN.

ER by game past 7 starts 4 4 0 0 6 7 0
Ks per game past 7 starts 5 7 6 11 0 4 4

There is no correlation. Pitchers aren't up there trying to help your fantasy team, they're just trying to get outs.

Save face and listen to people. Hamels is human, and you're wrong.

No correlation? So you show us all how he has had 2 of 3 bad starts and also hasn't struck guys out in that time frame just like I said. Let's see, low K's and high ER at the same time... yep you are right no correlation. I would expect the same from someone on the McLouth bandwagon.

[Nomarrrrrrrrrr]

this thread is worthless. It still astonishes me how many fantasy baseball guys no absolutely nothing about the game of baseball. This thread is evidence of that.

Do I think something is wrong with Cole? Absolutely not, even the best pitchers in baseball get knocked around every now and again. Baseball aint an easy game and you can't always be on your best. As for Coles last start, a complete game shutout is much more valuable to a team then 5inn with 10ks.

Uh oh, a guy that doesn't know the difference between no and know is jumping into it. Strike out pitchers strike people out. He didn't get knocked around once in awhile, he did 2 games in a row and then threw a gem but continued to not strike people out.

[Morel Orel]

Nomar you should

You made a dumb thread and don't expect anyone to rip on you? Laughable.

[Nate McClutch]

The McLouth bandwagon is sure better than a has-been that puts himself before his teammates.

Hamels will get 30+ starts, and in three of them he strikes out 0,4,& 4.

Big deal.

I was showing his ER/K rates to demonstrate that the guy goes through ups & downs.

The only down in the stats you showed was in the last 3 games, the exact 3 games I asked about. I don't like Nomar, he is a douche.

[Nate McClutch]

Yeah that Cole Hamels, he's havin a heck of a time with it lately
Great analysis by Nomarrrrrrrrrrrr.
We should totally blame Cole Hamels for Tom Gordon's 9th.
Jeez Cole, cant you do better than 8IP 13K 2ER 1BB ??

Only 13K ?!?!??!

[cubs2238]

Only 13, Jesus!

When are they going to send him down to Single-A Ball like D-Train?

Apparently this Hamels guy is just never going to cut it as a big league pitcher. I think every Hamels should hurry and drop the guy and pick up Homer Bailey......

[thomasmore]

I can't believe he took the L today. All 3 of my pitchers: Marcum 9k, Kazmir 10k, and Hamels 13k flitered with complete games and wins but lost instead *sigh*

[Carew7]

well he didnt actually take the loss , Gordon did but ya i know what you mean... he seems to get bad run support quite often
