As you probably know,
Kyle is Elliot's right hand man in terms of FED.
As I read your situation it appears that all we have is a player trying to legally re-enter at the wrong time,
I think that is the issue . . .
But there are a couple of ways it could go and I think that is the trap that has been set:
1) A preventative umpire could say, "sorry man, but you can only check back in when your due up" . . . remember FED says you CANNOT do subs in advance.
2) An Ahole umpire could allow the sub, BOO, and then wait to see if the defense reacts . . . then make the call.
3) A real big Ahole umpire could allow the illegal sub and find a way to make it an out.
I guess Little, I would do the first thing:
If I was smart enough to know it was out of order, if I thought fast enough on my feet and if I could sell it I HOPE I would simply not allow the sub.
Psst, the real truth:
I would probably have no clue the guy was checking in a batter early and I would have dug my own hole.
Fun times I guess.
