Debeau is right - are they appealing that B2 batted out of order? If so, denied, let's play. Note that they have not yet lost their chance to appeal B1 batting out of order if the offense doesn't fix it.

If they are appealing B1, then putting B3 in the box is the answer.

I will partially agree with you though. If coach mentions both batters when he's coming in, deny the appeal on B2 (and explain if necessary) batting out of order and enforce the other one.
