Like the rest of the Cubs starters, you'd like to see him go deeper into the game and pitch with more efficiency (95 pitches), but two errors and a catcher's interference played a large role in Hamels' high pitch count. Besides, Joe Maddon has a track record of pulling pitchers on a high note in their debuts and returns from the disabled list to keep his guys feeling good about themselves. All in all, it was an excellent debut for the 34-year-old. Cubs fans will gladly take 10 more of those outings.
