Subs and Starters

[SRW]

An extremely interesting lineup management scenario happened to me Saturday at the ASA 18-Gold Western Territorial Qualifier. I was U1.

1 out. B2 (#22) bats and gets a single. B3 (#24) is up to bat next. Coach tells the PU "#6 for #24". PU nods, says "#6 for #24, ok coach" and writes the change, then anounces it to the other team's book.

S1 (#6) then goes and replaces B2 (#22) on 1B. B3 (#24) comes to bat, and the PU doesn't notice. F1 throws a strike to B3.

F2 turns to the PU and says, "Blue, didn't #6 come in for #24?" "Yes." "Then why is #24 at bat?"

Whatcha do now, blue?

(sidenote - we booted it by book, but both teams were ok with what we did...I'll tell you what we did later.)
