I think Steve raises an interesting question --
Play: Bases loaded, two outs. B6 hits a double, scoring three runs, but misses first on his way to second. B7 enters the batters box with an illegal bat, or is an illegal sub, or steps from one batters box to the next while the pitcher is in a position ready to pitch. The umpire (properly) declares B7 out for the third out. Now the defense appeals B6 missing first. Is this an advantageous fourth out?
The time frame for an appeal still seems to be valid. And the offense messed up (twice) -- so under the philosphy of screw those who screwed up ...
