DP gets on base, coach uses CR for DP.

It's a given that, since she was given a CR, the DP is going to have to face at least one batter (as pitcher) in the bottom of the 1st.

Question:
Whose responsibility is it to assure that DP comes out to pitch? The opposing coach? If Flex comes out to pitch instead, is she simply an unreported sub?

DP always bats for FLEX. If DP gets on base, CR is not allowed.
Do you mean the DP will replace the FLEX as pitcher?
Then yes, THAT PLAYER must pitch to start the bottom of the 1st.

It would be an appeal by the opposing team and yes, the ORIGINAL FLEX player pitching when the ORIGINAL DP PLAYER is required to is an unreported sub.
