Hamels is Human
Cole Hamels gave up a few runs today as the Brewers get to him for 1 in sixth and three more in the seventh. He could not hold the four run lead, and Ryan Madson once again relieved him and gave up more. The Brewers bullpen pitches four strong innings, striking out four and allowing just two hits to hold on for a 5-4 victory. Hamels walked four more today to bring his total to nine in 11 1/3 innings. Big league hitters are a bit more selective, as Cole is finding out.

isn't insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result? maybe if manuel keeps relieving hamels with madson the phillies will win a game - i personally doubt it.
AAA strike zones are bigger than the majors as well, check out a televised game some time, the "high" strike is called about 6 inches higher, as well as a bit wider. This speeds up the game, and with the minimal minor league telecasts, is barely known.
hamels was talking about that after his first start. once he gets his rep down he'll get the maddux treatment.
