The pU screwed up by not announcing this to the defense, so they didn't know what was going on.

My point was that if he was approaching the plate as B8 was due up he can announce all he wants that he's batting for B9 but if you cannot pre-announce subs then he can't legally announce he's batting for B9. Therefore as he steps into the box he's an unannounced bub for B8.
