Have I been misled for all of these years? I have always understood that if a manager or coach wishes to make a double switch he must go to the umpire BEFORE going to the mound.
Last night in the Astros/Cardinals game, Jimy Williams went to the mound. When the umpire went out to break up the conference, Williams spoke to him for awhile and then made a double switch.
Of course this is OBR.

I believe, but I'm too lazy to look it up, that this applies only on the second visit to the mound -- IOW, when the pitcher must be removed.
Was that the case in this game, or was the switch during the first visit?
