    Maybe because he has an ERA over 5.00 against the worst team in the NL ?

    I just dont trust him to be dominant again

    it's 2 starts bro. and the nats lineup is much better than the crap the astros are running out there these days

    I know its 2 starts but he hasn't shown anything at all since '08

    I don't know what the hell's been going around here, but....a couple things...

    To the individual who said to keep Shane in the 7 hole while Jimmy's out and lead off Castro???? Surely, you can't be serious. And you better not call me Shirley. You don't lead of with a career .230 hitter. C'mon now.

    And everyone's gotta cool the fuck out on Hamels for Christ's sakes. Does he walk and talk like a douche? Absolutely. But last year wasn't even a horrible year - it was a mediocre year. And you can't have that out of your #1. It's two fucking starts, people. Nothing is fucked here. Talk to me in June/July about this Hamels nonsense. At least be glad he's finding his velocity early in the season. The Verducci Effect is real. We're SEVEN games into the season - seven facking games.

    And, Jeags, lay off Ibanez. I don't think your sample size is big enough to get on his case. Goes 0-3 and you bring that up, yet not the fact that he had some stellar games in Houston? Can't have one without the other. The guy is a professional and grinds his way through slumps. I'll take him hitting 6/7 in my lineup any day.

    I think they've made it clear that shane is there 7th hole hitter let him get comfortable there since that's were his gonna be for years to come.He's gonna be a lot more valuable there this year but I understand if they move him to leadoff. Batting in the 7th hole he can be the free swinger he is and that's there plan for him. If u move him up to leadoff ur going against evrything u did in spring training. Hed have to competely change his thought process and try and take a lot of pitches,the exact opposite thing they've told him to do all spring. To me its a step backwards and with the way this offensive has been don't change it inless they start struggling with castro leading off.
    Go Birds!!!!

    ah, finally a voice of reason. the one thing that sucks about the phils being good is all the new 'fans'. idiots at the game yesterday were booing hamels. I love philly but I hate the fans

    it doesn't matter who leads off. I would agree that victorino is the best option though. I read that rollins could be out for 4-6 weeks

    hey my sample size dates back to june of 2009 with that old head :mrgreen: . and, yes, i'm aware of his injuries. if we get .260, 25 hrs and 80 rbi's out of him, i'll take it. just not a fan of that 3 year deal.

    agree on hamels though--if he still has an era north of 4.50 in june then that is clearly the time to sound the alarms. still, i was looking for a little more in his first two starts. that's all i'm saying. gotta have more than mediocre out of him come october.

    i love the banter though gentlemen! great time of year! BANTER!!!

    Actually, I wouldn't mind Werth leading off even more than Shane - sees more pitches. But, then again, I don't wanna lose his bat behind Howard's.

    philadelphia fans in general are idiots. this is not a revelation. eagles fans are the worst, though the bandwagon phils fans are gaining ground.

    ripping hamels after 2 starts...come on.

    I just don't have tolerance for stupid people. This is why I refuse to listen to 610.
