So each and every time you have a CR come into the game, you pull out your lineup card, go through all of the players/numbers and write/verify that the CR 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.
The first time a NEW CR comes into the game, yes, I do that. takes <10 seconds. If the same CR comes into the game again, I just note it on the card. Takes <3 seconds. If the CR enters in another capacity, I note in in the lineup section, AND make a note of it in the CR section (I put an X through his number there). So, if he again tries to come in as a CR, I can stop it. Takes <5 seconds.

I do that at least as often as you indicate you write on your hand.
