Look, in the regular season, indefinite rain delays are not done for regulation games for obvious reasons... expense, schedule, teams have to be in another city playing another team tomorrow, etc. And, such games will be declared official since rescheduling to complete is expensive, and not always "fair" --- that is, the home field may very well change, etc.
In the WS, neither team has anywhere else to be or any other team to play. An indefinite rain delay can, and should, be done rather than other options provided in the rule book.
He did not have to wait for the score to be tied. He just had to be willing to make a decision without a net, so to speak. No surprise (to me) he wasn't.
