Ok Mike,
Since you were the only one to answer, consider this slight modification. In the sixth inning, the second batter in the batting order leads off and walks. Now the defensive coach comes out claiming that Team A is BOO since according to his book, DP-Smith should have led off the inning.
What do you tell the coaches in that case?

Uh-oh! Serge and I may have a little difference here. If the coach makes the BOO claim prior to a pitch, legal or illegal to the next batter, DP-Smith is ruled out and the #2 batter of that inning is returned to the plate to bat over. Count starts clean.

No difference. Just a brainfart on my part. Maybe if someone would have told me the scenario in Spanish, I might have understood it better. Sometimes, when I give coaches their time to voice their opinion, I look so attentive to them. But what I'm really doing is translating the play/scenario in my head in Spanish.
And yes, like Mike, I too let the opponents know when short-handed that they need to let me know when the "automatic" out is up. Funny thing is; I've never had to "memorize" the batters cause the opponents will ALWAYS yell at me..."Hey blue, their third out is due up now!"
And who said umpires are the only ones always looking for the outs.
