Cole Hamels Makes His Cubs Debut
Cole Hamels makes his Cubs debut tonight, and every Cubs fan is just dying to see what he can do. Hamels has had one of his worse years in his career throwing a 4.72 ERA and a W-L record of 5-9. What Cole Hamels can offer though is a veteran experience that has potential to have a Verlander like resurgence in the majors. The N.L is a more pitcher-friendly conference and may help Hamels. His first task, however, isn’t going to be easy. Going up against the red-hot Pittsburgh Pirates who got away with one yesterday. Look to take the two-game series. Let’s hope Cole can silence those dangerous buckos and get the win to keep the Cubs in first place.
Cole Hamels Final Line(Prediction)- 5.0 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB and 5 SO
Offense Needs To Give Hamels Run Support
Yesterday’s game the Cubs offense had more than enough opportunities to capitalize and take the lead. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to yet they came just a run and a sketchy overturned call away from potentially tying the game. Whatever though! There’s a new game in front of us, and the Cubs need to focus on that. Kingham hasn’t been very good this year, throwing an ERA of 4.80 and a WHIP of 1.23. Tonight could be a hitters night, in that case, the Cubs will need to be on top of every opportunity they have.
