Rule 3: Players, Substitutes and Coaches
Section 6: Bench And Field Conduct
Article 7
Art. 7... Players and substitutes shall not enter the contest unreported.
PENTALTY: (Arts. 2 through 10) The umpire shall issue a team warning to the coach of the team involved and the next offender on that team shall be restricted to the dugout/bench for the remainder of the game. (Art. 2) A fake tag without the ball is obstruction (8-4-3b). (Arts. 8, 9, 10) For coaches who violate, depending on the severity of the act, the umpire may issue a warning, restrict the offender to bench/dugout for the remainder of the game or eject the offender.
I'm probably going to warn the coach for the first batter and restrict the second batter, bringing back the person that the second batter replaced, or an eligible sub.
