Cole Hamels Pitched First Game At Citizens Bank Park Since Being Traded

Classy move...

Hi everybody,

Former Phillies starting pitcher Cole Hamels pitched in Citizens Bank Park last Wednesday (August 14th) for the first time since being traded to the Texas Rangers in July 2015.  Although Hamels (now pitching for the Chicago Cubs) had a rough outing he was treated with a standing ovation by the Philly fans.

In an extremely classy move, Hamels also wore the Phils commemorative patch honoring the late David Montgomery...who passed away on May 8th. When asked about potentially being fined for wearing it, Hamels said that Montgomery had meant a lot to him and his family and didn't care if he was fined.

Hamels is a free agent at the end of this season and I hope the Phils sign him as a free agent in the offseason.  Would love to see him finish his career as a Phillie.

Cole Hamels Returning to the Postseason

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to congratulate former Phils starting pitcher Cole Hamels for making the postseason with the Chicago Cubs.  Although the Cubs failed to win the NL Central Title earlier today they will be playing in the NL Wildcard Game tomorrow against the Colorado Rockies.  Good luck in the postseason, Hollywood!

Cole Hamels Returned to Philly Last Weekend for the First Time Since Being Traded

Hi everybody,

Former Phils starting pitcher Cole Hamels returned to Philadelphia this past weekend with the Chicago Cubs.  This is the first time that Hamels has been in Philly since he was traded to the Texas Rangers in 2015.  The Rangers traded Hamels to the Cubs in July.

Hamels did not pitch during any of the three games but was greeted with a video presentation by the Phillies and a standing ovation by the fans.  It was good to see Hamels again and I hope he will pitch one more time for the Phillies before his career comes to an end.

J.P. Crawford Returns from the DL

Hi everybody,

Phillies shortstop J.P. Crawford was reactivated from the DL (Disabled List) before yesterday's (June 6th) game against the Chicago Cubs.  Crawford has been on the DL since April 29th with a strained right forearm.  Mitch Walding was sent back to Triple A to make room for Crawford on the 25-man roster.
