Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper feels at least partially responsible for the firing of manager Joe Girardi, who was relieved of his duties on Friday in the midst of a 22-29 start to the 2022 campaign.
Harper told reporters:
"I think it definitely falls partly on the players. In all sports, any sport, the coach gets the dagger. It's usually partly on the players and partly on the staff, as well. As much as it's on us, it's on him, as well. It's on both of us and at this point he took it.
"It all comes down to winning, and we just haven't done that.
