Actually, POE 52 also says you eject the player if he intentionally throws the bat in anger. Would this be an immediate dead ball and an out as well as the ejection? Suppose he hits a pop-up and thinking he's going to be out throws his bat in anger. If the infielder (no IFR in effect here) fails to catch the ball, if the batter made it safely to 1st would they be replaced by a legal sub since they were ejected? No legal sub, then we also have an out.
