Phillies players Rhys Hoskins and Kyle Gibson discuss MLB’s rule changes
Reliever Seranthony Domínguez will be activated off of the 15-day injured list on Sunday, according to interim manager Rob Thomson. Domínguez, one of the Phillies’ most dominant relievers, hasn’t pitched in a game for them since Aug. 17. He was put on the injured list on Aug. 21 with right triceps tendinitis and went on aDomínguez pitched one inning, allowing two walks with one strikeout. Thomson said he was hitting 98-100 mph on the radar gun.
The three changes were the implementation of a pitch timer, the ban of the defensive infield shift, and bases that will increase from a 15-inch square to an 18-inch square. “As a hitter, I’ll obviously be excited about it. I’ll be curious to see what it does, if it gives us more hits, if we’re pitched differently, there are a ton of different adjustments that could happen. But I’m in favor of just letting us as players and athletes just be athletes.”
“I don’t know . Probably not a ton. But there’s certain situations … say you’ve got a guy on second with less than two outs. If I know that that guy has a base hit possibility to the right side, he’s going to try to take it as a left handed hitter. You can pitch to him a little bit differently knowing that he’s probably going to try to pull the ball, and you can kind of take that ability away from him a little bit.
