Rich....anyway you could post the key points to BB's rule?
I'm just curious. I haven't done baseball for years now so I'm not even remotely familiar with it. I'm assuming it's under the Fed code?
Thnx

An unannounced sub is officially in the game when they take their position and play commences (FED). In OBR it's when play commences except for the pitcher who is in the game as soon as he assumes his position on the rubber.

No fuss, no muss, no outs, no restrictions, no gamesmanship. They're in. It's over.

That is WAY too simple and logical....

If there is no penalty for the unannounced sub, that would seem to be an open invitation to gamesmanship. Maybe baseball managers never try to cheat?
