JO pool play EP

[Tru_in_Blu]

More pool play stuff. We hosted an invitational this weekend. Saturday was pool play.

Starter #13

Substitute #11 for #13

Re-enter #13

Coach: "Blue, I want to re-enter #11 and use #13 as a pinch runner."

Me: "Hold on coach, let's do this one at a time. You want to re-enter #11? If so, that means #13 is out and has no re-entries left. Is that what you want to do?"

Coach: "I can't use her (#13) as a pinch runner?"

Me: "No, she will be considered out of the game."

Coach: "OK, never mind."

Me: "So you have no changes at this time?"

Coach: "No changes."

Question which didn't come up and which never was pursued:

If there was a pitcher or catcher on base at the time (bases were actually loaded, although I wasn't sure if a pitcher or catcher was one of the runners), could the coach have made the re-entry of #11, removing #13 from the bases. Then, could #13 have been a CR for a pitcher or catcher on base? (There had been no CR usage up to this point in the game.)
