It's not but at the end of the day they are doing what they need to do to put us in position to win. And then we decide "hey! Tie game on the road after we made a great comeback! This seems like a good time to get Miller some experience or see if Billingsley has figured things out."
I doubt that was the mindset of the coaches. For whatever reason they felt like Miller was the best option without burning Davis. They have all the scouting and analytics in the world.. it just didn't work out.

I agree the decision was questionable to say the least. Maddox can use this experience to better himself from here on out and be better in the moment next time he is called on. In the end we left 12 or 13 runners on base. That is what ultimately lost the game. 100%. Miller was just the culprit left at the alter. He didn't do his job but he didn't lose us the game. Sweep tomorrow and tonight is forgiven and BOC will be praised again!
