Why was it a bad decision though? He had every reason to believe Verlander would give him a few strong innings to hand over to his closer. It was the bottom of the fifth so also there was no reason to believe the offense was done. And like I said he had Keuchel for game 5, so there is no drop off. He wanted to make sure he used his best pitchers as much as possible.

I don't see the comparison to the Girardi gaffe.
