Dominguez might be out the longest and might be facing reconstructive Tommy John surgery. Surely there has to be an explanation to all these injuries. Bad luck? Did someone piss off the baseball gods?
New pitching coach?
Last year's pitching coach, Rick Kranitz, was let go when the Phils learned other teams were interested in hiring assistant pitching coach Chris Young. They thought so highly of Young that they let Kranitz go and made Young the pitching coach. Last season, the Phils had eight pitchers on the injured list–over the course of the entire season. There are seven guys currently hurt and it's only June 8.
"It may be that a bunch of shit happened to us at once," GM Matt Klentak said when trying to explain the rash of injuries. Maybe it was bad luck. I'm not saying that it was bad luck but it's certainly possible. I can assure you all and I can assure all Phillies fans that we're looking into it and if there's anything we can do to adjust it, we will do that. But right now we have not found the exact reason."
It's a long season. Guys get hurt. Just seems odd that so many of them are relief pitchers.
