No, the move to pinch hit for Young, who was our hottest hitter and had already homered off Bumgarner was a bad move, regardless of the outcome. I criticized the move as soon as it happened, as did many others. If Young GIDP I wouldn't have criticized Farrell. Also how would Young GIDP with a runner on 2nd? With a runner on a 2nd and one out id much rather have Young and Ortiz hit, then Ortiz who was a lock to get walked, a struggling Shaw and Vazquez/Hernandez.
I don't really have much issue with yesterday's game, it was bad defense and bad hitting that lost the game, not Farrell. But that game against the Giants was bad in the way he handled when to use Ortiz.
