DENVER -- So, Cole Hamels is done. His eyesore of a line: 3.2 IP, 11 H, 7 R/ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HR, 81 pitches (54 strikes).
I've seen each of Hamels' major-league starts, and this, I think, may have been the worst. He tied his career-high for hits allowed in a game and earned runs allowed. (He once allowed nine runs, but only five were earned).
You be the judge. Here's a rundown of Hamels' rockiest starts.
June 16, 2006 vs. Tampa Bay: 3.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R/5 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 2 HR
June 28, 2006 at Baltimore: 5 IP, 9 H, 7 R/7 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 2 HR
July 24, 2006 vs. Atlanta: 5.1 IP, 6 H, 7 R/7 ER, 2 BB, 12 K, 3 HR
Aug. 24, 2006 at Chicago: 2 IP, 9 H, 9 R/5 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 2 HR
June 18, 2007 at Cleveland: 5 IP, 8 H, 6 R/6 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 1 HR
May 25, 2008 at Houston: 4 IP, 7 H, 6 R/6 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1 HR
May 31, 2008 vs. Florida: 5.2 IP, 8 H, 7 R/7 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 3 HR

Carlos Ruiz has left the game in the seventh inning with a right oblique strain. Details to follow later.

I have said it before and I will say it again, Cole has a dead arm. He got rocked all over the place today. They should have left him Florida to rest until they needed a 5th starter then start the rotation from there. I say he is done by June/July w.some sort of arm trouble.
