What got this post going was remembering the time the score keeper was off getting a hot dog or something and that caused an even bigger delay as he looked lost.. finnally giving it to a different parent who sits next to the scorekeeper.
However, the bottom line is - it seems to me there is no ASA standard on this and its up to an individual umpire's discretion as to how they do it. That's fine, I was just checking.
That is what kind of what aI thought, which is why I didnt say anything to him. It was painful though.

Page 52 of the ASA 2009 Umpire Manual
The manager or team representative of the team making the substitution shall notify the plate umpire at the time the substitute enters. The plate umpire shall then report the change to the scorer.
Sounds like a standard to me. Am I missing something?
I realize that for wreck league ball we might be a little more lenient on this in order to speed the game up, but there is a standard.
