High school ball. Coach needs to put in his ace pitcher in a key situation for relief in a tie game. Opposing coach points out correctly that the coach of the team in the field neglected to put the pitcher on the line up card as a reserve (potential relief pitcher was not in game). Umpire, per high school rules, does not let coach put in relief pitcher.
I think this is a no-brainer for many- a rule is a rule. But I think the rule is too punitive. It was an oversight by the coach to not put the kid's name on the line up card (he had about 10 reserves).
Anyways, what would you do as the opposing coach-point it out to the ump and stop the kid from pitching?
