Yeah, maybe I twisted this too far. The point is, TWP aside, that the violation doesn't occur without the batter becoming a BR and you have to account for that action. I really don't care what the scorekeepers do with it, but unless this is the case of a play with an illegal glove or by an unreported substitute, that batter complete the AB. There isn't anything else in the book of which I am aware which allows that batter to hit again until the next time that slot comes around.
