Joe Girardi After Getting Fired As Phillies Manager: ‘I Just Pray That They Get Better’

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Joe Girardi was fired as the Phillies’ manager on Friday, but that didn’t stop him from making an appearance on MLB Network Radio after learning of his dismissal.

“I think we gave too many extra outs, that probably cost of four or five games, maybe, maybe even more,” Girardi said. “I think at times our bullpen struggled. I can look back on this last week when we were, I don’t know 3-7, and I think realistically we probably should’ve been 7-3. Well, that’s going to fall on me because we weren’t and I understand that.
