"While the ruling is basically the same, the only problem with using 8.5.1 Situation L has the coach announcing F1 as a re-entry for the PH. Therefore, F1 was indeed the pitcher of record, thus eligible for a CR.
The portion which Bob cited must have been a post-publication change as the 2001 Case Book doesn't read as Bob posted."

1..The CR was put in for the pinch hitter. The pinch hitter is NOT the pitcher of record. F1 cannot be accepted as a re-entry until the team goes back on defense.
2..Exactly. It's taken from the FED site, and further clarifies the Case book ruling.
