The Cold Cole Hamels

POSTED: Friday, August 3, 2012, 4:38 AM

If the Phillies beat the Diamondbacks Friday night, they will have the same record in Joe Blanton's 21 starts that they do in Cole Hamel's 21 starts (12-9). Who would have thunk that back on Memorial Day.

Hamels was breezing along at 8-1 with a 2.43 ERA. Since then, he is 3-5 with a 4.18 ERA. And his ERA in his last three starts is 5.09.

Here are Hamel's numbers break down:

       Through 
May 28 
Since 
    June 2 
 Starts 11  10 
 Record 8-1   3-5 
 Phils' W-L 9-1  3-8 
 ERA 2.43  4.18 
 Innings 70.1  75.1 
 Hits 57  72 
 Runs 20  39 
 Earned Runs      19  35 
 Walks 14  26 
 Strikeouts 72  75 
 Home Runs 12

    C'mon Cole, start earning your dough. Just because your season is toast doesn't mean you are.

    Two errors by Utley and Rollins allowed 2 runs last night but the official scorer generously gave the home players hits on those plays. Actually Hamels only gave up 1 earned run in the game

    I'm with bmayer, Hamels was fine last night except for the circus that was playing behind him.

    The more interesting question is what are we going to do with Blanton? Another good game tonight will continue to increase his trade value. They'll have to work a waiver deal.

About this blog

Boop – who goes by Bob Vetrone Jr. when he is undercover or paying bills – has been at the Daily News since 1982, after working for five years at the Philadelphia Bulletin up to its closing. Along with helping to build the sports scoreboards most nights, he has had great input into the papers’ special sports pullouts – March Madness, Broad Street Run, Record Breakers, Greatest Moments – as well as its day-to-day, award-winning event coverage.

A 1980 graduate of North Catholic, he took some evening college courses. Those lasted right up until the first conflict with a Big 5 doubleheader.

His favorite books growing up were the NBA Guide and the Baseball Encyclopedia, which was, for all intents and purposes, the Internet before there was an Internet.

He has been immersed in sports statistics since the early 70s, when his father (long-time sports writer, broadcaster and the Daily News’ Buck The Bartender), would take him into the Bulletin newsroom overnight in the summer and let him update the Phillies statistics in a little, black spiral notebook. But things have changed tremendously in the decades since … He now uses a big, black spiral notebook. Email him at boopstats@phillynews.com.
