Hypothetical situation. ASA rules.
1st inning - Catcher gets on (walk, hit, whatever). Time is called, and the coach asks for a courtesy runner (we'll say uniform #1). Play continues.
3rd inning - Catcher gets on again. Time is called, and the coach asks for a courtesy runner, but a DIFFERENT player is used (we'll say uniform #5).
> If the defensive coach notices this before the next pitch is thrown, and calls time/approaches the home plate umpire about the situation, what is the result/outcome?
> And would this be the same penalty if ONE courtesy runner is used for both P and C (which IS against the rules)?
