Need a rule referance and ruling, I can't find one.
For this situation True or false, with rule citation please.
Team at bat has 10 eligable players, and are using a DH. Top of 5th 3rd baseman, in the ON DECK CIRCLE gets ejected for arguing balls and strikes, "the pitcher cannot come to bat since he can only pinch hit for the DH"
I know we can't forfiet the game, because they can field a team of 9 - Rule 4.17, but the DH rule does says no pinch hit, rule 6.10 B. I'm confused, what say you guys.
