Now this is the Hamels everybody expects!! It seemed like the last few starts, every time the Phils scored and took a lead, he would give it right back the next inning. Not this time! As far as Myers goes, I was listening to 950am and they said it could be as simple as locating his pitches better and just mixing it up more. Its just like what Schilling went through, but Schilling also came up with the split finger pitch that got a ton of outs
