Playing Donovan as DH was "interesting"since he had no other infielders.

Oli is very smart because his big "interesting" move did not burn him this time.

Playing Burleson at DH and Donovan at 1B would have made things less "interesting".

It's almost always better to be lucky than smart. In the short term, anyway.
Preferable to be both smart and lucky.
More of the former produces more of the latter.
In the long term. In the short term, sometimes luck holds all of the cards.

It was bizarre a manager put himself in that position

A 245 pound catcher has no business at 2B

Oli got lucky

Well he could’ve put BD at 2b right away.
