or, coach says, "Blue, after 1,2, and 3 bat, and we go back in the field, I substituting 12, 13, and 14 for them on defense"

What words am I supposed to use to these good people to explain the situation?

"Coach, that's a projected substitution and I can't record it. Let me know when those players enter the batting lineup. I can take them at that time."
Those are the words I'd use. They don't properly reflect the rule, and that's because I'd be talking to a coach, so using actual rule-language is....shall we say "tough" to use at all times. If questioned, I could quote chapter and verse, but that's usually not necessary on First Contact with a coach. Sometimes we have to paraphrase (to start with).
