Manager Joe Girardi admitted he was surprised about what’s going on before the game, and after it, he may have been surprised by a question about his job. That usually involves the teams, but the way the Phillies are going, the assessment can be about the manager, too.Īs upset as they are upsetting to their fans, the Phillies - with the Mets’ help, of course - can hardly believe they have dug such a big hole. The holiday is widely viewed as the start of real baseball assessment. It’s hard to imagine with the type of talent in that Phillies clubhouse that they are already 10 ½ games behind the first-place Mets on Memorial Day.
