So, it's okay if an umpire initially rules a runner Out, and then changes it to Safe when he realizes his mistake. But a manager can't correct an incorrect arm raise while approaching the mound? Is it in the MLBUM that an arm raise constitutes an announced substitution?
Can't say anything like that would happen to me. I've never recognized a substitution until the manager or head coach verbally reports it to me.
