does the batter have any right to request a measurement to replace the back line of the batters box?
No, she doesnt. I'm sure that would go over like a ton of bricks.

I have always been told that when the lines are gone, the umpire is to give the benefit of the doubt to the batter, unless it is completely obvious the batter is out of the box.
Its always an umpires judgment call, lines or no lines.

Her and her buddies are the ones who erase the lines, now they want to complain? Strange.
