The Boston Red Sox now have Steven Wright on the disabled list, thanks to one of the most astounding bonehead moves by John Farrell in 2016. I never thought it would top David Ortiz at first base, but Farrell decided to take arguably his best pitcher and place him in harm’s way. I have no idea where pitching coach Carl Willis was when this poor choice was made.
What is done is done and Farrell has certainly proven that managers can indeed lose games.
