Yep. But, at least, I understand why he did it. I'm not sure I understand why he felt the need to put in Mott in top of the 9th when we were down by a run. I think he should have stayed with Boggs and saved Mott in case we tied it. Or, at the very least, stayed with Boggs until he got into trouble and then made a double switch so he could have Mott the next inning in case we tied it. He burned up his options for no good reason.
