Wright would be such a useful weapon in the bullpen. Such a shame that his incredible season was cut short by Farrell’s bonehead move to pinch run with him a day after he threw a complete game.

I think Farrell is a terrible manager, but blaming him for that is foolish. Wrights only job was probably to not get hurt

Idk how you can’t blame Farrell for this? Wright’s dive back into 2nd was foolish in itself, but you don’t ever put your ALL STAR STARTING PITCHER in that position to begin with. There’s zero excuses for that. And I’m sure Farrell has lost some sleep over it.

It’s a sad representation of athletes these days, when a guy who uses his arm fora living, can’t run 90 feet at a time properly.

Tell Wang that, whose career ended up getting destroyed running the bases. “Think” was rounding 2nd and just never recovered from the fracture of his ankle years ago.
As for Wright? Tacky maybe.. But Wright was running 90′.. He was sliding.. Still don’t want ur important ppl in any game as pinch runners. Delay the game if need them, forget Manfred’s hurry the game rules. Call the BP and get some 6-7th inning reliever instead. Was NO call for sending out the (then) 3rd starter.

Of all the moves Farrell has made over the years that are “questionable”, that one was number one. His most consistent starter and to use an American League pitcher as a pinch-runner was just idiotic. Maybe he thought he was Joe Maddon and could make quirky moves like Joe and be loved, who knows?

A’s lead the league in one thing the most TJS on their pitchers. It might be a new world record this year.

In just two weeks, the Indians go from being one of the most formidable pitching staffs in MLB to being a broken puzzle. Fortunately they have a great Manager.
