Cole Hamels, Mike Montgomery and uniform numbers are among the questions in this week's Inbox.
Hamels' stats aren't great. Do the Cubs expect him to pitch better once he gets away from the Rangers' home ballpark?
-- Rick V., Miami
Hamels was 1-7 with a 6.41 ERA at Globe Life Park, and he said part of his struggles were because he was trying to locate his two-seamer. Epstein said they considered more than the home/road splits when they looked at the lefty, who will make his Cubs debut on Wednesday against the Pirates.
