Two of us say that a pitcher (starter) has re-entry after being substituted for while on offense, and can pitch again.

Baseball, FED rules.

Yes, this concept is very confusing amongst FED rules because there is not a casebook play or a rule that explains this concept very well. This definitely needs a play in the casebook IMO, but they would rather clarify that you can't wear bandannas .

The only way a pitcher is not allowed to pitch is if his replacement takes more than 8 warm up throws or they violated the charged conference rule. Other than that, the re-entry is ok to come back and pitch.

Ask your friends to show you the rule where it says you can't come back and pitch after being substituted for.
