How about lack of preparation both physically and mentally. Hamels has admitted as much, with all of his post season distractions he never spent the time preparing like he is accustomed too.When he said it at the beginning of the year I figured he would come around at some point towards the middle of the season but it has yet to happen. Can't say I am surprised. Hamels wears his emotions on his sleeve, for better or for worse, right now its for worse.I think he is in such a mental funk that he just can't get over his poor start and that is culminating in a poor season. Hamels needs things to go right otherwise he falls apart at the seems. He is very much the exact opposite of another lefty named J.A Happ.Hamels can be great, hell, Hamels was great, when we needed him most, this season may be lost for him but rest assured, if he does not get his act together this year you can bet he will spend the entire off season preparing for next year. He can't fail again, his ego can't take it. Jinx? How about lack of preparation both physically and mentally.

When he said it at the beginning of the year I figured he would come around at some point towards the middle of the season but it has yet to happen. Can’t say I am surprised. Hamels wears his emotions on his sleeve, for better or for worse, right now its for worse.

I think he is in such a mental funk that he just can’t get over his poor start and that is culminating in a poor season. Hamels needs things to go right otherwise he falls apart at the seems. He is very much the exact opposite of another lefty named J.A Happ.

Hamels can be great, hell, Hamels was great, when we needed him most, this season may be lost for him but rest assured, if he does not get his act together this year you can bet he will spend the entire off season preparing for next year. He can’t fail again, his ego can’t take it.

He is pitching like a #4 instead of a #1. Myers was as bad as Eaton which is more like a #14.I still think he will get his stuff together before the end of the year and will be a force in the playoffs.
