BOO, again.
 

Situation 1:

B6 is the correct batter.

B5 bats and singles.

B6 comes to the dish and singles.

Defense appeals.

Since, B6's at-bat (first pitch) legalized B5's appearance the correct batter should have been B6. Too late, B7 comes to the plate with two runners on.

Is this correct?

--------------

Situation 2:

B2 is due to bat.

B3 bats and singles.

B2 comes to the dish and singles.

Defense appeals.

Since, B2's at-bat (first pitch) legalized B3's appearance the correct batter should have been B4. Therefore, B4 shalled be called out. The two runners remain and B5 is the next batter. Is this correct?

Thanks for your help.

B2 is removed from base.

Right on the first one, wrong on the second, where B2 comes off base, and B3 goes back to 1B.

That's right, 7-1 Penalty 2.

Thanks.

Correct, unless B3 advanced on anything other than the improper batter's batted ball or award.

So in situation #1, B5 bats twice in a row? Anyone want to eject him and maybe his coach for blatant cheating, like the runners who switched bases in that other thread?

That would be correct B5 bats twice, although it might not be blatant cheating. If at the end of the last inning R3 was stealing home and there was a D3K, B5 (and others) might think R3 was out on the steal and not a force resulting from B5's K.

No, I wouldn't want to EJ. BOO is covered by the rules and can be an honest mistake. The pros even screw it up. Look at the one where they screwed up the lineup before the game even started. It was an American League game.

:confused:

You cannot possibly be serious.

How you get blatant cheating out of a BOO is beyond me. Just enforce the penalty prescribed by the rule and move on.
