Bat the bench rules

[SamNVa]

Dakota,

I don't have a rule for you, but I do have a questioon and a comment.

First the question: Did B1 actually complete his time at bat before the defensive coach complained? If he didn't then B10 could have just replaced him in the box and assumed the count. It's not a BOOT violation or a skipped batter until the incorrect batter completes his turn at bat.

Now the comment: This guy was a real *ss*ole to insist on a forfeit when a simple BOOT out would have sufficed. He robbed both teams of the chance to play the game. And this is supposed to be "a pseudo-rec league, with the intent to keep the players playing later into the year, development of skills, etc." How many skills did the team develop in that game. What a jerk!!
