While it's a little unclear in your OP, it appears the VC put her at 1B as a CR. Your right in saying the home team was too late in bringing this to your attention. Had they said something while the runner was on base, the CR is an illegal sub and is restricted for the remainder of the game. (3-4-1c)
No. The VC put her out there as the CR. Of course preventative umpiring dictates if we as umpires know a player can't CR for the "new" catcher, we prevent it. But you can't "retroactively" determine she was actually a sub.
No. See above.
Yep.  |
If the player mistakenly called a CR was put on base, isn't she then simply a substitute? When she was replaced with the originaly starter, wasn't this just simply an unreported substitute?
Have to admit, I'm not near a book, but I thought the violating CR statement refers to using a player not eligible to be a CR (such as a different player currently in the game or a sub who has already been in the game)
