The crew chief allowed an obviously intentional bean ball in the exact same location the day before and let it go.
Wolf is on record admitting he knew Lilly was going to retaliate and yet failed to give warnings.
If Wolf had kept his mouth shut and not told the world he knew so much there would be little to discuss.
It's because of his expressed prior knowledge, his failure to proactively prevent it and the precedent set by the crew chief that I feel gives much justification to finding fault
