So I've never had an appeal for BOO, yet.
In this situation do you help out... that is, I get a BOO protest from the defense. Now I grab my lineup and look at the book. Yep, we're out of order.
Now do I
a) Simply call B7 out. Tell B9 to head to the dugout and say play ball.
b) Call B7 out. Tell B9 to head to the dugout and tell the coach, B7 was your last batter.
c) Do something else?
What if the coach specifically asks me who should bat next? What if it's the defense who asks?
