Judges home run was when the bullpen should have been warmed up and I think that is when Richards was started.

When your starter has a history of getting his face caved in by the team you're playing, and also has a history of getting his faced caved in the third time through the order, then it doesn't really matter who that starter is, you should be guarding against the likely scenario that he gets his face caved in, especially in a game that is pretty much a must win, and you are only winning 2-1.
Again, for 1000th time, that is not "hindsight". That information was available for all to see prior to the first pitch being thrown.
