Ah, the condensed version.
Same conclusion, but I just figured I'd have a little fun with all of the ins and outs and twists and turns that can throw a monkey wrench into the call.
If you're on the field when a tricky batting out of order play comes up and your brain starts to go all foggy, one tried and true method to get the game moving along again...call
somebody out...call
anybody out...but just call an out!
The coaches, players and fans just know that batting out of order is an out- period. But they're hard-pressed to tell you exactly who it should be.
Pick an out, get a batter up real quick and get a pitch thrown as fast as you can to elimate the possibility of a protest- just in case you get that one coach in a hundred that really knows the rule!
