The change actually penalizes the defense based upon an offensive violation.

Since we don't all have the new books yet, can anyone post the text of the rule? I'd like to see how it changes other scenarios.

Is the simplest way to state the effect that we're simply negating anything the improper did, assigning an out to the batter who failed to bat, and letting any other outs (that are not on the improper batter) stand?

So - no one on base; B4 bats where B2 should have and A) got on base; B) got out - in both A and B, we have 1 out, no one on, and B3 up?
