I wonder if Ned has nightmares that maybe he should have just pitched HDH for 2 innings each to close out game 7.

I think Francona would have had no issues pulling Vargas at the first sign of trouble in Game 4.
We win Game 4 (the only game in the last two postseasons where we blew a 3 run lead), and there's no need for a Game 7.
Thankfully, I think being outmanaged by Bochy inspired Yost to be more aggressive in the 2015 postseason. Chris Young was always pulled before he made it through five, he went for the kill in Game 4 of the WS, and Wade had 3 multi inning performances, and every one was huge.
