BOO Argument

OTOH,

So much for conceding the ruling!!

suppose B5 completes the turn at bat and the defense appeals. The rule to be applied is now 7-2-C-2. And 7-2-C-2a says the batter who should have batted is ruled out. The batter who should have batted is B4. 7-2-C-4 does NOT say if the proper batter is on base, the proper batter may not be ruled out for failure to bat.

Really? And what do you call, "The correct batter merely misses the turn at bat with no penalty?

It says the proper batter may not be removed from the base to bat. Hence, my reasoning - B4 is ruled out.

Want to keep digging? I hear there is some great softball in China!
