This is tangentially related to a question asked last week.   The pitcher lineup card rule exception applies only to extra innings or six run or more blowouts.

 

No player on the lineup card other than those designated

as Two-Way players or pitchers by the Club may appear

in a championship season or postseason game as a

pitcher, except that any player may appear as a pitcher

following the 9th inning of an extra inning game, or in

any game in which his team is losing or winning by equal

to or more than 6 runs when the player enters as a pitcher;

provided, however, that any player added to the Active

List as a 27th Player prior to September 1 shall not count

toward the maximum of 13 pitchers

so what about the ruse of getting extra time for that incoming reliever by taking a oops, i forgot about that rule, my bad.

For those interested, to qualify as a two-way player: 

In order to appear as a pitcher without counting toward a club’s pitcher limit, a player must accrue both at least 20 Major League innings pitched AND at least 20 games started (as either a position player or designated hitter) with at least three plate appearances in each of those games, in either the current season or previous season."
