    Hopefully, it's just a case of "let the old veteran stay home awhile and do things his own way" and he'll not really be set back.

    Hamels threw 141 2/3 innings last year, 190 2/3 in 2018 and 148 in 2017, so AA and company probably weren't counting on a full season from a 36-year-old Cole Hamels. Whether or not a setback this early indicates there'll be even worse problems moving forward, I don't know.

    "Felix Hernandez the stage is yours"

    Tomlin re-signed with invite to ST. A shore up move!
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    Alex says Hamels will not be able to start the season in the rotation due to the lost time. Doesn't sound like they think it is season threatening or anything.

    Roger Clemens spent a few years being in the BSOML every June or July after having been retired for 7-8 months each time.

    If all goes well he'll still be able to have a start or two at the end of ST and begin the season with us.

    No one had to change the testing rules to stop Keuchel from avoiding piss tests, though.
