Regarding the BOO, I agree that a ruling that the illegal position the FLEX took in the batting order was B1 would be plausible. This would mean that after the dust had settled, that S11 (for example) takes 2nd as FLEX is DQed and removed from the base (S11 becomes the new FLEX), and R2 is left on 1st base. This completes the ruling on illegal player. Then, in a separate ruling, R2 is ruled to have batted out of order (since B2 was due up), B2 is declared OUT, R2 removed from 1st, and B3 is up to bat.
Plausible, and defensible. Would it stand up to protest? BFOM.
