BOO Argument

He only needs to make sure B5 is in the box and s/he gets one pitch, legal or illegal. Then he is home free.

Well, he's made progress, but not home free. Because the legal batter to follow B3 is B4 (who is on 3rd base). If he can manage to get B4 home while B5 is still at bat, then he can make the penalty-free correction. If B5 completes the turn at bat, then the defense may still appeal BOO for the penalty (B4 declared OUT, B5/B6 due up depending on the result of the play).

If B5 completes the turn at bat, and B6 has one pitch, then he is home free.

Or am I missing something?
