News and Notes

Jul 2
LHP Cole Hamels has allowed 11 runs on 17 hits in 8 2/3 innings for an 11.42 ERA over his last two starts. In five starts since a five-hit complete-game shutout June 4 at Dodger Stadium, he's allowed 44 hits in 27 2/3 innings and has a 6.18 ERA. But the Phillies aren't worried. Manager Charlie Manuel reviewed each pitch from Hamels' start Wednesday night against the Braves and concluded the problem was imprecise location. Too often, Hamels missed his spot, and when he did, he missed high in the strike zone. "It seemed like every (pitch) they hit, especially the fastballs and changeups, were up," Manuel said. "It goes back to his command. But I see the same guy. It's just a matter of him getting in a groove and getting going. As long as he's healthy, I don't worry too much." |

Hamels was hit hard by the Braves Wednesday, allowing seven runs on nine hits in four innings of work. Recommendation: He struck out one and walked two despite throwing 55 of his 88 pitches for strikes. This was a Braves team that averages 4.12 runs per game, and that makes their four runs on Hamels all the more surprising. The one bright spot would be he did not allow a home run, but he has failed to pitch out of the fifth inning in each of his past two starts. |

Hamels was ejected from Friday's game against the Blue Jays for arguing balls and strikes with plate umpire Mark Carlson. Advice: The ejection came after Hamels was removed for right-hander Chan Ho Park with two outs in the fifth and the Phillies trailing 4-0. With manager Charlie Manuel and the rest of the Phillies infield at the mound, Carlson walked out to break up the conference and Manuel signaled to the bullpen. Hamels, winless in his last four starts, began arguing with Carlson as he walked alone to the dugout and was ejected just after crossing the foul line. |
