How would you know FLEX batted in the #10 spot, or she batted for the DP in the #1 spot? The fact that the DP is in the on-deck circle is immaterial, is it not? At the time of the appeal, this could be nothing more than an unannounced substitution of the DP. Until the DP physically occupies the batter's box, her status is unknown.
Or is that not true?
