In its very simplist form, the DP plays offense and the FLEX plays defense. As long as each of them are doing their job, everything is great. Now, let us suppose for a minute that the coach tells you they want the FLEX to bat. The ONLY person the FLEX can bat for is the DP. No one else. Since the DP is not doing her job (playing offense), then she is currently not in the game. She does have one re-entry, though, just like any other player. (Or in NCAA, any other starter.)
Does that help?
