Now you are going to have some real intelligent folks try to "remove" a player from a line-up before providing a substitution. Are these people that dense that they do not understand that since only one player can occupy a slot in the line-up the providing a substitute effectively removes the player in that spot from the line-up?

How about something as simple as, "All substitutions or changes are effective immediately upon submission to and acceptance of the umpire" ? End of story. No maybes, what ifs or buts, all aspects of the game take place in the present, not the future.
