I know it's not exactly apples to apples, but this kind of goes to the Showalter thing last week. I think 95% of the MSB thought he was brain dead for not using Britton around the 9th. Baloo made a decent point in response that at some point you need to save the game to win the game, so keeping Britton on ice wasn't all that egregious, and the same result would likely have happened as they would have just burned out Britton in the 9th/10th.

Its different for several reasons

1) Saving Britton for the save didn't increase the odds of him pitching better(short rest).
2) The game could end at any inning, the Dodgers on the other hand have to win 2 games. The dodgers at a minimum will have to pitch 18 innings of baseball to win this series.
