Rich,
I have a few questions.
Say the reserves are not listed on the lineup card. Just 9 names listed.
1. Is the umpire supposed to refuse to accept such a lineup card?
2. Is the umpire supposed to go to the dugout and count the number of players on the team?
3. Is he supposed to write in the names of the reserves himself?
4. If the lineup card does not have the reserves on it, how is the umpire supposed to keep track of minimum play?
5. What if the manager tells the bad players to come to the game, not in uniform and sit in the stands? He only wants the 9 best players in uniform. Then only the best players get to play. Then if one of the players gets hurt, the manager signals to one of the kids in the stands to change into his uniform. The manager then says "Hey, Johnny just showed up. Good timing, go play left field."
