Cool closer: Rodney calm, confident amid roar

The first stage is undeniably euphoric. There’s a roar at Chase Field when the bullpen door swings open and Fernando Rodney trots to the mound. The game is on the line and Lil John’s “Live the Night” booms throughout the stadium. D-backs fans rise to their feet. Rodney’s teammates bob their heads to the beat and pat the inside of their gloves. It’s go time.
