From Matthew Pouliot:
“For the fourth straight postseason start, Hamels failed to last six innings. He’s given up 16 runs and seven homers in 19 innings.”
Even Hamels can’t wait for his season to be over. When the pitcher would rather be golfing (or, more likely, spending time with his newborn), you have to question his effectiveness.
