You're the umpire. Batter hit by pitch. Dead ball. Girl apparently hurt a little, goes to the bench, where coach assesses her injury. She's OK. With ball dead, coach tells you that CR is going to 1B for BR.
Do you allow the CR to go to 1B and then call the BR out? Is it legal to replace BR before she proceeds to 1B? If not, you must inform the coach otherwise, just as you would if the coach told you he was sending in a CR for the left fielder. With the ball dead, I would permit a CR or a sub without requiring BR to touch 1B.
It's another story if the offense simply sends out a CR without informing the umpire.
I think this is a situation that should never be allowed to happen.
