Cole Hamels is in good Company... Literally....

Cole Hamels had a Jon Lieber like outing tonight. Let's hope Jon Lieber has a Cole Hamels like outing in his next start.

Hamels did not look like himself, he looked like Hole Camels again... but again...he's only human. I'll take 9 wins to 3 losses from any pitcher, any time... He'll be back.

Hamels does have some problems. He gives up the long ball. Currently, he leads the league with 17 homers surrendered in 103.2 innings, which translates to approximately 1 homerun every 6 innings, or 1.5/9 innings.

Surely this is a bad sign, but consider the following statistics.

Pitchers Who Have Surrendered the Most Homeruns in their career... I have asterisks, next to the names of the Hall of Famers. He's got a lot of innings to pitch to get there, but he would definitely be in good company... Nice to see another Phillie who is the career leader in this category.

So what does this tell you? I'm not sure, but if Hamels is being compared to Left and Left and is 8th all time in most homeruns allowed, than Hamel's Achilles heal is alright by me.

And doesn't it also seem like Cole Hamels gives up a lot of first inning runs? I would pull the stats on runs per inning, but I'm pretty tired and am fending off sleep.

PS - Say hello to Cole Hamels' wife... Heidi, she was on the Survivor. I told you he was in good company....

Have you ever seen Heidi's playboy pictorial? Sweet!

I still love Cole, but that was a brutal outing. His homeruns are cause for alarm, as it'll only get worse through July and August (the hot months).
