Nothing to do with DH, it's about managing your pitching staff.

The DH league manager has to worry about his pitcher half the game, when he is actually pitching. The "classic" league manager will have to worry all game long, because the pitcher's spot will come up to bat at some point.
How much does he have left? Is it worth it, potentially not scoring this inning, but having him go deeper into the game?
The DH league manager can sit down in the half-innings his team is batting. "Go up there, kids, and do that swing thing. I'll be over there with a hot dog."
