Substitution Question

[johnnyg08]

Assuming all players listed in this sitch are starters (except D)

The DH, is the DH for that spot in the lineup for the entire game (obviously you can sub for the DH). So...my understanding is that in your sitch, Player D enters the game for Player C. Player A is still hitting for Player B in the 5 slot. The previous pitcher can go play anywhere while still being hit for.

Am I correct? Admittedly, I'm not sure on this one, but I'm giving it a shot.

Just saw your post JM...was typing while you posted your answer.

johnny,

I would concur with what you said, but I believe it's DIFFERENT than the question mrm was asking.

Straight OBR doesn't have reentry and the DH must hit for the pitcher in that spot for the entire game. My understanding is that only in NCAA where they have that P/DH rule where you can manipulate the batting order with substitutions if the pitcher is listed as the P/DH.

Just a piece of advice for next time...state the rule set if you're inquiring about a specific rule set.

'Bout time someone asked a rule question.
No need to place any stipulations on his thread.

I wasn't. But his question had different answers based on rule set. So the answer to his question could be correct w/o a rule set context. I thought I said it nicely.
