Davis reaches base and James PR for him, lineup card now looks like this, James must bat in the 4 spot as he is running for his DH who batted there. Notice only 9 players as DH has been eliminated for remainder of game. Davis is a starter that has now left for the first time and James who he was batting for is still in the game as the starting pitcher.

2. Bruce 6
3. Charles 7
4. James 1 (PR for DH Davis)
5. Eugene 8
6. Frank 2
7. George 5
8. Henry 9
9. Iban 4

Davis now reenters for the first time but now must play defense too and still has to bat in the 4 spot. He replaces James in the lineup and is inserted as the first basemen and Able moves to pitch. James has now left for the first time from his position as a starting pitcher and retains reentry rights.

James now reenters, as pitcher moving Able back to first, and must do so for Davis in the 4 spot. Davis is now done for the day as he has exited a second time.

Does this help anyone understand that wasn't to clear?

Ah. Can't argue that. Thanks.
Dumb me was looking at them back in the game at the same time.
Your explanation shows how it is possible to meet both criteria.

so basically if he re-enters in the same spot in the lineup, for who was the previous DH, he can do that...but they can't re-enter him in a different spot in the lineup?

By DHing for James, Davis and James are locked into the 4th spot in the batting order for that particular game.

[johnnyg08]

okay, that makes sense...so in a sense, they're still locked into each other because they were connected to the DH

I wouldn't use that logic, becasue it doesn't apply to OBR anbd NCAA.

I'd just use the FED rule that the DH and the DEFO can't both be in the game at the same time, and must bat in that particualr spot in the order.

Okay, thanks Bob.

What is different in OBR and NCAA? Other than reentry of course.
