Bush League but it almost happened last night

Speaking of light-bulb moments, I just had it!

You can get outs on the switch, but not how FED wants it.

If the offense had a conference, and came out if it with two brand new runners, we would call it a substitution (unannounced, potentially.) I think if they do the switch with existing runners, we have two illegal substitutions. Bam! Both are out and restricted.

Simply brilliant. And you know you're going to get the coach too.

If this situation arises, I will definitely use this. Go ahead and protest, bitch.

How can you have any substitution when both players are already in the lineup?

Why not? Probably the most common illegal sub is when both players are in the lineup. The DH goes on defense without his defensive counterpart coming out.

Apples to oranges. The DH is the only one in the batting order.

Wrong.

How so? The DH is listed in the (9-player) batting order. The player for whom he is batting isn't. Only one of those two can play offense at the same time, or play defense at the same time.

However, switching them isn't considered a substitution.

I never said they were switched for each other. Quite the contrary.
