Jerry Manuel has taken mercy on Rod Barajas.
Instead of feeding him to the knuckleball gods, Manuel spared Barajas yet again opting for Henry Blanco in games against the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers, giving his starting catcher a break following a start in Baltimore where R.A. Dickey’s knuckler gave Barajas a beating behind the plate. |
