Farrell who out-managed Matheny, who stubbornly kept pitching to Ortiz. In his book, Ortiz explains that as a former catcher, Matheny thought he could figure out how to get out any MFer, but he didn't understand that when an MFer gets that hot, there is nothing you can do with him. By the time Matheny realized that he had made a mistake, it was game 6 and the other guys started hitting.
