So I agree it is sleezy but what is the basis for asking it is not allowed by rule?

I don't have my rule books with me today, but a CR can only be used for a pitcher or catcher of record who bacame a BR through their own at bat.
The sub of Flex for the DP once the DP was on base was legal, but the Flex cannot now have a CR. The logic is simple - "Coach a CR is only allowed for the player who batted. Your F1 did not bat. No CR. If you insist, it will be a charged substitution."
