I get that, but it ties in.
To answer your question without re-diving into the PS discussion...
If you believe as Mike, Atl, several others do, and accept any and all substitutions on the offense regardless of when they are due up ... then you don't care when they are due to bat that inning. You pull out the lineup card, cross off number 20 and write in 30. Done.
If you believe as me, Manny and several others do, then you ask exactly what Manny said you ask, and act accordingly.
My main point in the other thread is that regardless of which you believe to be correct, you can "prove" your way is correct via the rulebook, and you can avoid any issues with coaches, lineups, unreported subs, etc if you are self-consistent across the board on the way you're doing it.
