CR for DP/Flex

At that point, (when CR goes in), it's our responsibility to make the coach aware that he will have to put DP in to pitch for at least a batter, no?
Guess that's just a courtesy on our part.

If the coach did not inform you that the DP was going in on defense for the FLEX at the pregame conference, then you cannot allow a CR for the DP. It's too late. The HC had to make that known during the lineup exchange. Otherwise, what would prevent the HC from having a CR for F4 and then just trotting out F4 to face the first batter the next half-inning?
