I do GC for DD's HS team. So I get the lineups. The last two games we've played - the other team has a DH in the lineup and then the P as flex.
I put everything in - the lineup gets announced.
We've only played home games so far so other team bats first.
Last night, the DH gets on - and they CR for their pitcher??
So when we come up to bat now the DH is the pitcher.
The same thing happened in another game where the DH ended up pitching instead of the one on the lineup.
Is this just the other team wanting the flex to be announced and then actually have their real pitcher play? I'm so confused on whether it's against the rules or not. I'm not on the field - but up in the scorebox - so I don't know if the other team is telling the ump the change.
It doesn't really matter but it's just confusing as to why they would knowingly put a different player in as "pitcher" and then not pitch them.
