Thank you, heres what happened the coach on the other team had 9 players to start the game,in the 4th inning he told the ump that he was going to play his 3rd basemen in the dugout cause she did'nt feel good so I said oh shes coming out as injurded and the umpire said no that he is playing her on the bench and that he could play his defence any where he wanted to, the ump said he could play her in the parking lot or in the portapotty if he wanted to. I had no problem with that but he told the ump that she was'nt feeling so to me she was injured, witch he finaly admitted.
What he was tring to do was to avoid th out when her name came up to bat.
I certainly hope this wasn't an ASA game, because if it is, that umpire has no idea what he is talking about.

ASA (FP) 6.5.A
ASA (MP) 6.5.A
ASA (SP) 6.4.A

All require that prior to any pitch, all defensive players must be stantioned in fair territory except for the catcher who must be within the confines of the catcher's box.

Last time I checked, the dugout was not in fair territory.
