Ichiro asked to do the arrow with Fernando Rodney, so of course Rodney said yes

Ichiro is known for his at-bat routine. Deep squats in the on-deck circle leads into the arm-extended, sleeve-pull as he prepares to hit. 

Fernando Rodney is known for his postgame routine, when he leans back and gets into his arrow posture. 

On a recent road trip, the two of them joined together to do Rodney's arrow. Because, as the closer points out in his tweet, when Ichiro asks you to do something, you don't say no. 

Now we can only hope that the favor will be returned and we'll see Rodney doing Ichiro's at-bat prep.
