Let's follow this thru to the absurb
After the #9 batter bats, the FLEX comes up and bats and completes her turn at bat as an illegal offensive sub for #1.
At that point, I've got #1 out of the game and she must re-enter.
Now, #1 sees they're starting at the top of the lineup and comes up to bat following the last name of the lineup in the dugout (#10) -- Do I now have #1 re-entering as a batter in the #2 slot following the FLEX (who is the illegal sub) in the #1 spot in the batting order?
Suppose they get all the way back thru the lineup down to the bottom -- do I now have the entire team re-entered as illegal subs because of the FLEX inserting themselves in the batting order?
Lot of restricted folks in that dugout, if that's the case
