Playing for Peanuts

Comcast has been airing a docu-series on the South Georgia Peanuts baseball team.
Has anyone seen this? I thought it was a one-time special on the schedule.

The episode I saw today during the White Sox rain delay featured a double-switch.
Peanuts manager told the PU that a manager (the opposing skip) must make the switch before going to the mound and lift his pitcher.
I'm not aware of this rule. Anyone?

On the switch, the new RF would bat 9th, the new pitcher 8th. Said the PU, "I didn't know you could switch batting positions."
Now I assume the the switch involved new players. But from that comment, I ain't so sure. Peanuts coach didn't object.

The Peanuts are in the South Coast League. Independent A from what I could tell. League suspended operations in April.
