Just a year after leading the Phillies to a World Series title, left-hander Cole Hamels was hearing boos in Philadelphia last season. Hamels, who was the World Series MVP at just 24, is looking to get back on track in 2010. "You live and learn," he said. "You need to have games that don't go the way you like. It lets you know this game is hard. ... When things get tough, you learn a little bit about yourself. You have to simplify the game instead of making it out to be something that's even harder. And that's what I did [last year] ? I made it a lot harder than the game should be." When he struggled, Hamels became furious with himself on the mound. "The biggest problem with Cole last year, in my opinion, is he pitched with a lot of anger, with himself mostly," pitching coach Rich Dubee said. "He's such a perfectionist. You don't pitch with anger. He wasn't nearly as focused as he was the two previous years. He expects a lot out of himself, not unlike most guys in that clubhouse, but your expectations of what you want and the way you approach it are very important and his approach wasn't good."
