Technically, only 4 roster players (along with 4 subs) are required for a team to take the field. With this sub list and access to the Free Agent Wire, there is absolutely no ex...

Rules Of Scorekeeping

Below is an overview of basic score keeping rules applicable to the game of baseball/softball. A simple once-over will give you a relatively good understanding of how the game is scored.

Re: Men's / Coed League Sub Scenarios / Effects

The sub rules are complicated. They are also a necessary evil. Without rules and regulations governing what short-handed teams can and can't do with their rosters, unscrupulous managers would consistently gain unfair advantages over full roster teams. Here's a recent question and answer as it relate...
