Really quick question.

Postby skjelstrom » Fri Jun 25, 2010 8:46 am

Would you pitch Cole Hamels at Toronto tomorrow? Toronto hits a lot of long balls and Hamels gives up a lot of long balls. The catch to this is its a weekly league that changes on Saturday so I would also get Hamels start vs. the Pirates on Thursday. What would you do?

Also would you put Shaun Marcum in vs. Phillies and Cleveland this week? The Phillies are hot and Marcum doesn't pitch as good at away games, BUT the Phillies are a mostly lefty lineup and Marcum has held lefty's to a .169 BAA.

Leave a link, Ill help if you want it.

I would start Hamels for sure, and bench Marcum. I do not like that matchup against the Phillies.

Can you start them both? If not I would go with Marcum. He has been solid all year and Hamels has been up and down.

I can start them both if I want to leave Garza and Haren on my bench this week. Haren is facing STL and Garza is facing BOS...

So Ill start Hamels unless you find both of the matchups better.

But would you start Marcum over Haren or Garza?

i'd start them both since you get two starts from them and one each from haren and garza.

Yes but if their bad starts it wouldn't exactly be worth it.

Marcum beat Hamels on Saturday. We'll have to see how the next start goes for each of them to see if you made the right decision.

Yeah I was right to be afraid of those HR's.... Hamels killed me. But we shall see with the next starts.
