What a complete POS Jim Leyland is, what in the fuck is he thinking in that situation?????
Out of all the shit beats I've taken over the last month and like you Skyla most were in the 9th, I think this was the worst because this was pretty much all on the inept manager. This I think was worse than the Marmol blow up against the Reds last thursday because this made absolutely no sense. Leyland has a solid closer in Valverde, he only has a 2 run lead, and just suddenly decides to get cute and use Dotel who is a 7th inning guy as the closer. Dotel clearly has no control, walks the first guy, then walks the next guy on 4 fucking pitches. Leyland just stands there like a retard and doesn't pull him with a power hitter like Montero up and keeps him in to watch him throw 2 wild pitches to cut the lead to 2-1 with the tying run at third with no outs. He still doesn't pull him and this moron Dotel throws a fucking fastball on a 3-2 count to a rookie and of course Montero nearly hits a home run and the game is now tied.
FUcking idiot, why did you do that? No fucking sense, if you wanted to get cute why not just let Phil Coke pitch the 9th since he only had to throw 8 pitches in the 8th to get through the 3 batters he faced.
A completely senseless and sick beat, fuck you Leyland!!!
