Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi claims he is not worried about losing his job even as the team comes off a winless series against the New York Mets and tumbles down the NL East standings.
“I don’t worry about my job,” Girardi said, via ESPN. “I’ve never worried about my job. I don’t worry about my job. I’ve got to do my job. It’s the business of being a manager. I don’t worry about it.”
Philadelphia is 21-27 so far on the season despite having the fourth-highest payroll in the league and boasting big names like Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. They have lost 10 of their last 14 and are coming off a 2-5 road trip that contained two walk-off losses, including Sunday’s series-ending loss at the hands of Mets third baseman Eduardo Escobar.
