In case A), the approved mechanic would be to say nothing until the defense challenges the AB. In case B), the umpire has the option (or is it a duty?) to penalize Chris as soon as he steps into the batter's box.
I suppose Big Dog could ask Chris (or coach Rat) who he's coming in for. That would make the infraction clear, but it might go beyond expectations. In a clear BOO case, you wouldn't say anything.
Psst, even in full-on tournament mode, I'm not checking the batting order during an innning. My extra responsibility is only to ensure that substitutions that I'm notified of are legal. (Sorry for the LL-specific content.)

In part A, there is a specific phrase in the Federaion book which covers this. It says the penalty for an IS supercedes the penalty for BOO. Therefore, 2 outs can not occour on the play.
In either case, the sub is an illegal sub. Therefore if he is discovered, you must say something. Hopefully you would have realized this when you wrote down the change on your lineup card.
