Phillies: Joe Girardi opens up on missing baseball

MLB’s originally scheduled Opening Day is just less than a week away. Obviously, with all the seriousness surrounding the current global health scare, that glorious first day of baseball in late March won’t be happening.

Just like the rest of us baseball fans, newly hired Phillies manager Joe Girardi has been struggling to cope with the lack of the nation’s favorite pastime.

“We’re home with our families just like everyone else, we just really miss it, that’s the difficulty”.

Brought in this offseason to replace the often-criticized Gabe Kapler, Girardi had just a few weeks with his new team before spring training was put on hold.
