Sanity Check...

[treedog24]

I was pointing out the difference between OBR and FED. In Fed they are tied together and may not be in the game at the same time period. You can not move the pitcher to a defensive position and put him in another batting spot. In OBR, you can.

MST, so in OBR I have the Starting F1 being sloted into the 8th spot and the DH becoming the F1 and remaining. IN FED, I stop everything call for the illegal sub and restrict the Starting F1 to the bench for the remainder of the game? :a100posts:

In Fed, hopefully you are keeping the line-up and you are going to stop the sub. If not then yes, restrict the player and get a proper sub in.

The question was "where does the (former) pitcher, who is now playing first base, bat in the order"?

The substitutions you mention in the OP can't happen in FED. The original DH and the DEFO cannot both be on defense (or both be in the batting order) at the same time.

If the DH enters to play defense (pitch), the the original pitcher must leave the game. He can't go to first base.

DH is removed and he pitches but still bats 5th.

The starting pitcher now bats 8th.

I believe this is the Major League and Canadian baseball interpretation

You are correct but the discussion is about Fed where this IS NOT TRUE! The pitcher and DH are tied to the same spot, cannot be moved or be in the game at the same time.
