OTOH, if the sub is not announced, then he's subbing for the correct batter. Doesn't matter what the coach's intention was here.
In other news, hi Peter! Long time no see...What was it you used to say about TWP's happening to TWU's?

Yes, and according to the BRD, even if he is an announced substitute for an incorrect batter, he was still batting for the correct batter
even in FED. The umpire and scorekeepers are to change their records. A pinch hitter can never be BOO except in case of a pitcher with the DH rule.
Can you imagine trying to explain that to a coach?!!!!!!!!
Thank you to the poster for pointing me to the relevant BRD ruling. I knew I was right for OBR and NCAA, but I had was totally unaware that it applied to FED.
This gets more complicated in FED when the starting 9th batter tries to reenter as an unreported sub pinch hitter in the 8th hole.
As for TWP and TWU, I plead guilty. $hit happens to everyone sooner or later. My only defense is that I was not the PU and was totally unaware of what was going on until it was time to clean up the mess.
