I agree with you. The flex and DP can't be on offense at the same time. That was THEIR solution, not mine. That was what the UIC, Ump and TD determined was the appropriate call. What should have happened is that the starting pitcher that we pulled (#20) should have still batted (she was perfectly able to continue batting - there wasn't a problem, we just made a pitching change) and the flex should have still played defense only. However because she was now not playing defense, the umps decided that she was now on the bench and could no longer bat. "Mound" was just a term - pitching rubber, circle, whatever - however, we were playing on a baseball field - LOL!
My question remains - who do I contact to have the umps retrained.
