Of course good game mgmt. by the plate umpire would never permit that to happen.

And how is that? I don't check my lineup card everytime a new batter comes to the plate. It's pretty easy to miss this, just like it's easy to miss unreported subs, illegal players, etc. The gentleman at the BBQ who told me this happened to him is a really good umpire who, IMO, got victimized by the flow of the game.
Isn't this something that really should be caught by the game's official scorekeeper? It's not a BOO situation that scorekeepers are supposed to keep mum about. Once he/she knows the missing player is due up, shouldn't he/she bring it to everyone's attention?
