Can't be allowed to play? First off, he's already in the game, but even if he wasn't, isn't this a classic book error by A's head coach, add the name with a T? What's your reasoning for not allowing him to play?

Question for all on this one, how can you determine with certainty if the HC made a mistake or not? If he says, "I just gave them my book," or something similar, how do you know he didn't change his book later? Is it just faith in humanity?? Also, if it cannot be determined with certainty either way, what is the default, T or play on?
