TUESDAY’S DONKEY OF THE DAY IS…
A. Isaac 
Detroit Manager Jim Leyland
With 1 out and 2 in the 8th on against the Giants last night, Leyland made the move to the pen to bring in fireballer Fernando Rodney.
The problem?
Rodney hadn’t made a single pitch in the majors all year. To make matters worse, Leyland, before the game said he would like to ease Rodney in
Manager Jim Leyland said before the game that he’d like to ease in Rodney for an outing in a lower-pressure situation before throwing him into the eighth-inning setup role
I’m no baseball guy but does “easing in”=preserving a 1 run lead in the 8th with 2 on and 1 out.
Great confidence booster skipper. Way to manage that bullpen!
