In Friday’s 14-9 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays, Cole Hamels made his 2010 spring training debut.
Tossing 32 pitches in two innings, Hamels allowed one run (a solo home run), two hits, and walked one. Hamels’ fastball topped at 89 mph, but he also showed a cutter and curveball. Hamels was confident in his cutter. In addition, Charlie Manuel acknowledged that Hamels’ curveball was good, especially to left-handed hitters.
In a “B” game, Jamie Moyer also made his spring debut. In three shutout innings, he allowed three hits and struck out three. 23 of his 31 pitches were for strikes.
Also on Friday, Tyson Gillies homered and Domonic Brown went 2-for-4. However, pitchers J.C Ramirez, Ryan Vogelsong, and Bill White struggled.
Today’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates is currently being aired on 1210 WPHT.

Hamels throwing a cutter. My prayers have been answered!
Didn’t see the game, but sounds like Hamels was using a few cutters effectively against left-handers.
If that pitch helps him get lefties, watch out. He could have a huge season.

Good to see “Old Man” Moyer tossing the egg with plenty of bacon grease. He may surprise us all.

The game ended at a 3-3 tie today(10 innings). Blanton gave up 3 runs, 5 hits in 2 innings. Joe started this way last year, they all did.
The relief looked stupendous, again – names worth mentioning, Baez (today), even Zagurski, Herndon and Chavez looked decent today. Bastardo looked sharp yesterday, along with Kendrick, Contreras and Carptenter the day before. Between these 8 pitchers, 13 IP, 14 K’s, 8 hits and only 1 walk and 0 runs.
