Joe Girardi does not worry about his job

"I don't worry about my job," Girardi said. "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."

The apology seems sincere enough.

Tim Anderson is batting .355 and, on the baseball field, he can be referred to as Mr. Anderson, even by a player who was once MVP of the AL.

That's really all I was looking for.

A self-serving statement, sure. But just publicly acknowledge your admiration for both Jackie Robinson and Tim Anderson.

High praise for a guy with a .000 batting average this season.

 Twelve at-bats is a small sample size, of course.

Also, Anderson hit a walkoff HR vs. the Yankees in the Field of Dreams game.

 In Game One, Josh Donaldson almost had a hit:

"Donaldson sat out the finale after going 0-for-4 but coming within a few feet of a much bigger day in the opener. With two on and two outs in the first, Donaldson lined out to third base, where Yoan Moncada -- inserted into the lineup in place of Anderson -- saved a run by snaring the ball at his shoe tops. In the fourth, Donaldson flied out to the wall in left field.

With two on and one out in the eighth, he flied out to the track in right-center."

Eating Cheerios every day might lower cholesterol.

 We have no idea, really, but it might.

On the one hand, they're being honest.

 On the other hand, they lack self-awareness when they complain about unusual ballpark dimensions.

The man bet on himself and it's paying off so far.

This guy called it the day BEFORE.

With the Yankees, Girardi was highly regarded for his bullpen management.

 Still, a jockey needs a good horse.

Easy decision ... give it to a kid.

The Mets DH.

My ear may not be to the ground, but I don't think NL fans are complaining about the DH.

 No rule change could save a PED-less Robinson Cano.

The Ivan Nova update you didn't know you wanted.

Checking in with Clint Frazier.

It's possible the unfortunate concussion injuries derailed an otherwise stellar carerr.

But facts are facts.

Frazier is now 27 years old and has a career WAR of 0.1.

This year, in 21 at-bats, away from the supposed pressure of New York, he has 3 hits, 0 HRs, and 0 RBIs.

He's nothing more than a batting practice all star.

This guy with his excuses.

If Cole seriously has another personal catcher this year ... and if he's seriously rejecting the guy who was his personal catcher for the past two years ... then he's just a Spider Tack fraud.

IKF scored a lot of points with Yankee fans in one at-bat.

Funny how it works.

The other oddity alluded to in this article is that the Yankees have been playing small ball. Eight out of eleven stolen bases. They even successfully executed a hit-and-run the other day. 

Of course, the next batter was unable to get the runner home ... but it was a nice try.

The Ellsbury update you have been waiting for.

 Still: If he was in LF right now, he'd probably be better than Gallo.

Steroids work.

We need to talk about Kyle.

Many Yankee fans had tired of Sanchez behind the plate, this is true. Including yours truly. 

I hadn't really pondered the idea that they were serious about promoting the backup. 

It didn't work with Chris Stewart or John Flaherty, did it?

This whole time, I thought Nick Johnson was the greatest hitting prodigy since Ted Williams.

But I suppose that would make Juan Soto the greatest hitting prodigy since Nick Johnson.

Gallo is joking, so I'll give him a pass

" 'When I first got traded here I think they thought I was Babe Ruth, or something, I don’t know,' Gallo told The Post and smiled.

Well, the Bambino did strike out a lot …"

But it does remind me of the time Ottavino said he would have struck out Babe Ruth every time.

" 'I’m not necessarily a loveable player ’cause of the way my skill set is,' Gallo said, 'but I always respect the game, I always play hard, I always give everything I have every time I’m out in the field no matter what the score is, no matter where we’re at in the standings, who we’re playing. I always take pride in that ’cause I love the game of baseball.

“I think fans will start to see that over time.'

He’s not Babe Ruth. And he shouldn’t have to be."

He strikes out too much. Way too much. Also, his defense has surely not lived up to its hype.
