lawump, on this, I agree with you. Just having a "do-over" on the two pitches because it was easy to fix is not the right way to do this, because it would obviously not be the right way to do this had something more significant happened.
To me, the ONLY way to fix this is to treat it EXACTLY as if the original BR had simply been erroneously replaced by the next batter, in the middle of his at bat --- the pitches count. If something significant happened, treat as BOO, just as you would had he been erroneously replaced by the next batter. If something significant didn't happen (like the OP - just two pitches, no other effects), then the original correct batter comes back to finish his at bat ... which is just what you'd do if BOO was reported at this point.
