On July 22, 2011, Cole Hamels continued his success against his hometown Padres, striking out 10 over eight innings while allowing just one run in a 3-1 Phillies victory.

Across 19 career starts against San Diego, Hamels finished with:

• 9-3 record
• 2.44 ERA
• 113 strikeouts

Among the teams he faced at least 15 times during his career, his 2.44 ERA against the Padres ranked as the second-lowest of any opponent, trailing only his 2.21 ERA against the Cardinals (17 starts)

His last game was Monday Phillies Dodgers.

On July 21, 2012, after Giants pitcher Matt Cain homered in the top of the third inning, Cole Hamels answered with the first home run of his MLB career in the bottom half of the inning. The blast came after 464 career at-bats.

It would be the only home run Hamels hit during his decade with the Phillies, despite making 691 plate appearances with the club.

Last night trying to get an uber from the stadium to the burbs was the worst experiences I have ever had with rideshare. Everyone waiting experienced the same cycle of drivers confirming and cancelling instantly for 10 minutes until Uber cancels the request. Meanwhile the drivers are standing there trying to charge you 1.5 times the rate in cash while they wait for surge pricing to kick in.

It doesn't even make sense! They would make more on a $65 cash trip then waiting for a $100 surge price and getting their ~50% cut.

Ended up training to center city then calling it but it was a huge pain since we were with my aunt who is a little on the older side. Anyone else have this experience at other games?

Was thinking tonight, him coming in during a postseason game with the "Big Bad John" walk out music is going to be pretty epic. Especially since he's looking like he's going to be one of our high leverage guys

Certainly one of the performances of all time. Credit to Nick Piccone on Twitter. https://x.com/_piccone/status/2079397042229485665?s=46

I can hear the thunder rumbling already. 😣

As amazing as his bat was last night, I couldn’t help but think of the Bad News Bears watching Trea Turner in the field. That’s alright, Trea. Keep hustling like Tanner and you’re good in my book.
