Pinch Hitter/ Batting Out of Order

[jicecone]

I think your over-thinking this way too much.

If Dusty, Peter, Sarah, Mikey, Franky, Harry or anyone else (except Charlie), that is not in the game come in and bat in Bill's spot unannounced, they are then the legit batter and substitute (pinch hitter) for Bill. Period.

If you let the second scenario happen, where he substitutes Dusty for Charlie, when Bill is up, then you deserve all the crap that going to take place. Take control of your game and this won't happen. There is no need to discuss what if's after that because it is not going to happen in my game , especially with a lineup card.
