Also, I read some of the posts that follow. If an improper batter bats, and the next batter is intentionallly walked you can't then appeal BOO unless the batter who is intentionally walked is also an improper batter. This was changed a couple years ago to prevent intentionally walking a power hitter with no pitchers so he loses his turn at bat, and then getting an out on a BOO situation that happened before he came to the plate. Intentionally walking is considered a play.

Let me see if i understand this correctly:
A's batting top of 4th.
Line up card for A's batting inthe 4th:
Martin SS
Cutler CF
Shelton C
PArker P
Cutler is in B.Box. B's coach requests and is granted a IBB. Umpire motions Cutler to 1b. He trots down and stand on 1b ready for his leadoff.
Then, B's coach appeals that Martin is the person who should have batted, not Cutler. Umpire agrees, calls Martin {Cutler} out.
So, Cutler is the batter now with 1 out.
CORRECT?????
