Cool

Scotty,

The question you are asking is a "point not covered" - in any of the three major rule sets, or any of the respected interpretation books.

So, you get to decide.

Were I actually presented with this situation in a game, I would be inclined to require that the player who would replace the player whose action was first worthy of ejection be named first.

Or, maybe I'd just make the coach who was making an issue of it name his replacement first. Depends.

I suppose you could also make the HT name their replacement first because they give you their lineup first (at the plate meeting), or make the defense name their replacement first. You could go a lot of ways.

But I think "A" would be best.

JMO.
