Please explain how the new pitcher was substituted in and then had an at bat before entering the game. Are you suggesting that the umpire accepted a projected substitution?
Jimmy, I suppose his team was batting in the bottom of the 6th (or top of 7th) and the starting pitcher was substituted by the would-be reliever, who then got a hit. The umpire would not allow a CR for this would-be reliever.
