Hey Guys,
Let me add a little clarification to what I was thinking.
DEFO-Jones was supposed to bat for DP-Smith in the fifth inning which is a perfectly legal substitution. However when she came to the plate, nobody realized thaq the inning should have been over due to the automatic out in the 9th batting position. So effectively she was allowed to bat for the injured 9th batter. In my first scenario, in the next inning, the leadoff batter DP-Smith erroneously comes up to bat forgetting that DEFO-Jones batted for her in the fifth inning. In my second scenario, B2, the batter following DP-Smith, comes to the plate which would have been correct except for the mixup in the fifth inning.
So here's what I'm really looking for: Is DEFO-Jones doomed to "ride the pine" for the remainder of the game because she was erroneously allowed to bat in B9's spot, or is this a fixable problem, and who is due to leadoff the sixth inning?
