After a leadoff double, he has Infante swinging away, rather than bunting the runner over to 3rd, with a tie game in the 7th. Obviously, he strikes out.

I never understood how these managers can be so dumb????

Well, he's off the hook a little b/c the Tigers still scored this inning. But this still doesn't excuse his lack of managerial skills.

In this situation, yes I believe he showed a "lack of managerial skills." Also, he took Bonderman out after 83 pitches, with a runner on 1st and 1 out. And Bonderman was starting to get in a groove - had thrown a few scoreless innings. The reliever promptly gives up a double to score the run. Nice move, Leyland.

1 world series ring does not make a guy a terrific mgr.
