It is not "plain clear truth" it is an opinion and one I find similar to most of the other opinions in here that is based on the results after the fact. That a baseball player couldn't stand near second base and not get hurt is surprising, it was a dumb play by Wright to put himself in a position to have to dive back. I'm aware he doesn't do this all the time but he seems like a fairly intelligent person it isn't that hard to know what to do there.
It is an arguable decision for sure but assuming you wanted to PR for Ortiz there Farrell didn't have many options. The only other option was Pomerantz(assuming you don't want to run post-knee surgery ERod) which may have been better but I believe it was his throwing day so he may have been thought of as a guy who could pitch an inning in an emergency. Farrell certainly didn't help himself by saying he used Wright because he looked comfortable in bp.
I'm pretty agnostic on Farrell and think he is a below average in game manager but those in here who jump on everything that goes wrong to blame it on him make themselves look silly in my opinion.
