Not sure as I don't remember the exact circumstances when they made the comment (I'm going on a bad memory here) but as I remember they were saying the player who becomes the SP runner has to have been out for for a defensive half inning also. Thus a player A who is officially subbed for at the top of the offensive inning, has his sub hit in his spot, cannot SP run for his sub or any other batter during that half inning. I don't believe this to be correct. Once a player is officially out (not a projected substitution) and his spot in the order has been hit for, he should be able to SR run. But as I remember they were saying a defensive half had to be played also. As long as his sub has batted, player A is out and IS eligible to run as I understand it, even in THAT inning>
