More Trouble on the Mound


It appears that the Phillies are now finding more problems to keep them busy. The star pitcher of the Phillies, Cole Hamels, was a concern for the start of the season for two reason, 1 because he had some inflammation on his pitching elbow, and 2 his pitches had been coming in with lower velocity. It seemed as though they might have their starter back healthy until today's game against the Milwaukee Brewers in which a new problem occurred. After a few shaky innings a line drive came off of a Brewer bat and hit Cole Hamels dead in the arm. The medical staff determined he has a contusion in his left arm and will not be pitching next game, adding to the already long list of kinks for the Phillies to work out.
