Poor, Poor Cole

So, to put it nicely, 2008 World Series MVP Cole Hamels is not having the best luck so far this season. Just about every start he had, he has either done very poorly, or injured himself. On his start before his most recent start, he threw a pitch and it was hit back to pound him in the shoulder. Then, during his start last night, he was doing very well, until he rolled his ankle going for a ball that bounced to the mound. He got up, threw a practice pitch, and had to come out of this best start so far. To say the least he was "ticked" off. I felt really bad for him when he was walking back to the dug out. It has to be extremely frustrating to be him. I mean, the poor guy is coming off winning the best award baseball has to offer, and now he never has the opportunity to do what he does. In my opinion, the training staffs of professional teams can be a bit over-protective of the players. Seriously, let them play. When he was walking back to the dug out, he didn't seem to be limping, but who knows. Those people went to college to do that stuff so I suspect they know what they are doing.
