That's my point. Intournament rules, protests for illegal subs are considered only when they are made before the next pitch. Does that mean when a person is subbed illegally before meeting the MPR, and is unable to re-enter due to the illegal sub, that the game is forfeited.
Another example. Starter John is pulled after pitching to 1 batter. Sub Paul is struck by a line drive and has to leave the game. Since the sub never meets the requirement to allow the starter to re-enter, the starter can never meet the MPR. Is this now a forfeit?
