At the start of the game..Tim is not the pitcher but David is.

All responses based on Tim not playing any other defensive position.
Tim has left the game. Lineup is now at 9.

When David bats and reaches base can you use a courtesy
runner for David other than the flex??
|
It MUST be someone other than the Flex and not in the game in any capacity for it to be a CR
Quote:
David continues to bat and pitch until the 3rd inning then Tim enters the game
as the pitcher
|
Tim has re-entered the game. Line up now back to 10.
Quote:
...but in the bottom of 4th David bats again
|
Tim has left the game and exhausted his eligibility.
Quote:
and Tim is still pitching in the top of the 5th.

Illegal pitcher. Tim is DQ'd if caught. Any play which occurs during a period is governed by Rule 4. Good umpiring would prevent this from happening.
Quote:
In the 6th David bats again and Tim is still on the mound the 6 and 7th innings...
This can't be right when is David an illegal sub..or when is Tim and illegal pitcher???? Thanks Sue
|
David never left the game, hence he cannot be an illegal player. As noted above, Tim was done long ago, but if it gets by the umpire, it's up to the opposition to bring it to the umpire's attention while Tim is in the game.

Hang on, Steve is correct. I caught an error in the beginning before posting, but apparently I did not walk it all the way through prior to submission. I guess that's why I don't care for the personification of scenarios.
My bad, everything here seems legal as Steve noted.
Sorry, slowballbaker.
