Throw to the wolves: An example would be making an 18-year-old kid who has never pitched in the Major Leagues,
take the mound against the
New York Yankees in
Yankee Stadium in game 7 of the World Series, with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with the Yankees down by one. Oh yeah, and Alex Rodriguez is at the plate. Have fun, kiddo, you've been thrown to the wolves.
