Phillies manager Rob Thomson was ejected in the sixth inning of their 6-3 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday for arguing a pitch-clock issue.
PHILADELPHIA — Phillies manager Rob Thomson was ejected in the sixth inning of their 6-3 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday for arguing when plate umpire Roberto Ortiz wouldn’t reset the pitch clock after Aaron Nola requested a new baseball.
While facing David Peralta with two outs, Nola took a return throw from catcher J.T. Realmuto, circled behind the mound, indicated to Ortiz that he wanted a new baseball and threw the one he had toward the Phillies dugout. Ortiz handed a ball to Realmuto but put both arms out to his side, and the clock was not reset. It appeared that there were 10 seconds on the clock when Nola threw the baseball away.
“I was feeling it and walking back to the mound,” he said. “The clock had started. I wanted to throw the ball off to get an extra second. Guess they didn’t like that. Balls are slick. I need to rub them up. Sometimes they’re chalky, sometimes they’re slick, sometimes the seams are bigger than others, sometimes they’re smaller.”Asked specifically if he didn’t like the ball he threw away when the clock was not reset, Nola said, “There were several that I didn’t like, yeah.
