Cole Hamels' First Start

So, Cole Hamels didn't perform as expected yesterday on his first start of the season. Sure, he let off quite a few runs and a few homers. Sure he didn't strike out as many as he usually does. Sure, he didn't throw as hard and accurate as he usually does, but that doesn't mean every single sports writer and reporter in the country has to ridicule him. Now, I understand that Cole Hamels threw much worse than what would be expected from the World Series MVP, but that doesn't mean he was a one-year-wonder like I have heard multiple times this morning. Come on, he is coming off an injury and has not thrown very much since October. When C.C. Sabathia got murdered in his first start, nobody called him a one-year-wonder. Nobody said he didn't deserve a huge contract with the Yankees, like people were saying that Cole didn't deserve World Series MVP. Maybe Cole isn't ready to pitch and his elbow is worse than we thought. At first, I thought he was just being a baby about it, but maybe it really is bothering him that bad. Knowing what kind of competitor Cole is, maybe he came back to pitching earlier than he should have, because he wants to win! I know that the Phillies will face a lot of ridicule for every little thing they do wrong, since they are the defending World Series Champions, but still, You cannot base judgement on how well a pitcher will do by seeing him start one game.
