JD:
DP for Flex on defense is a substitution for reentry purposes, and you must announce it or it will at least cause a 15 minute delay in the game if the ump notices or the other coach does and is not sure what to do. Or the ump may call unreported sub and be irritated at you. (I have no idea the penalty but maybe warning and then coach stuck in the dugout.).
Those DP FLex discussions are awful when it's either 20 below or 90 degrees out.
It is easy I also imagine to forget how many times the DP and Flex have subbed for each other with some of the other moves going on.
Is that true? if the DP is playing defense for the short stop and then switches with the pitcher (Flex), isn't that just a defensive swap with no subs?
