DP/Flex Redux

"No, I don't care about defensive moves." I stop them there and say 'yes coach, he would like to know when you make any move involving the DP/FLEX." Coach says "I thought so."

As wade said, I think you did not handle this properly (or at least, not the way I would have handled it - and isn't that the same thing? ) At this point, all you can do it figure he is PU and he is handling the lineup, subs, etc. If you want to discuss it after the plate meeting and before the first pitch (away from the coaches), and try to convince him, fine. Otherwise, DP/FLEX for this game is merely an EP.
