You don't do that?

A bunch of the Fed umpires around here obviously do. I mean, they never pull out the card when a change is made, so they must have it memorized, right?

I've never understood why an umpire will not keep a line-up card.

It can make your game so much easier by taking a few seconds to record a change. And God help you if there is a protest over BOO or substitution issues, 'cause the first thing the UIC is going to do is ask for your line-up card.
