So each and every time you have a CR come into the game, you pull out your lineup card and write/verify that he is not an illegal sub and is running for the proper battery member. Internet umpires are so funny. I'll be willing to bet dollars to donuts (I know it's even money these days) that their virtuous/virtual practices and ballfield practices are not necessarily the same.

Everybody on the Forums know that my primary sport is basketball and my secondary sport is baseball (with fast pitch softball a distant third). And if you go to the Basketball Forum and as them to read your response (see above) they will tell you that I am going to take you to the woodshed for a good old fashion whopping.
Listen up whippersnapper. I have been a boys' and girls' H.S. basketball official for 42 years; I officiated women's college basketball for 34 years (from jr. college to Division I) and men's jr. college basketball for fifteen years. I am a basketball rules interpreter, instructional chairman, and a staffer at basketball officiating camps. When I hear a camper respond the way you just did, you know what I do or any other staffer would do: We drop you from our minds. We don't care whether you sink or swim because your actions tell us that you don't want to learn and get better.
I do not want to hear your horse manure about "one way Joes". I just hope II not your BU when you screw the pooch with regard to a CR because you have not done your job and taken business with the Lineup Card as the PU.
And yes, when I am the PU I pull out my Lineup Card and take care of business each every time (baseball and fast pitch softball) a CR enters the game. Actually that is a lie. When I am umpiring, 90% of the time our assigners pair Mark, Jr., and I together and 99% he takes the Plate for his "old man" and yes he takes care of business each every time (baseball and fast pitch softball) a CR enters the game.
