Starting Pitcher Replaced Returns

[UmpJM]

How many warm-up pitches does each pitcher get in each situation?

What is the penalty, if any, if he exceeds them?

Do you get somebody out of the dugout to warm up the "new" pitcher, or do you wait until they finish switching gear?

In an NCAA game, when do you "start the clock"?

...

Day game or night game?

8.

Can't return.

Out of the dugout.

After the 8 pitches.

bob,

Sounds good to me, day game or night game.

Who, exactly, may not return? The guy who threw too many, or the guy he replaced?

"What is the penalty if he exceeds them."

Injured or incapacitated pitcher can't return if his replacement REQUIRES more than 8 pitches.
If a normal pitcher's replacement takes more pitches than 8 I think you are suppose to authorize them. If you do authorize is the penalty no reentry of the replaced F1? What you do if he just keeps throwing I don't know. The few times this happened I told the opposing coach the leaving pitcher was burned as a pitcher. That satisfied them but there is a little ambiguity in this FED sit.

I stop him at 8. If he wants more, I'd make the coach use the word "injury" and then not allow the return of the replaced pitcher. But, 100% of the time to date, either the coach has used that word at the time of replacement, or the pitcher has stopped at 8 or fewer pitches.
