Missing Player in Lineup

[derwil]

Sounds like the coach did just about everything correct. At the plate meeting, I really only check the pitcher/catcher positions for courtesy runners (ASA/Fed). Coaches I've had will typically tell you when the DP is going in for someone, but not 100% of the time.

I really have no heartache with anything the coach did - and wouldn't think a thing about it if it happend on my next game. Not the smartest thing to not start someone else in hole #1, but that's a coach for ya. My biggest problem would be stopping the game when the player showed up to check her equipment.
