Batting Out of Order Appeal in Cincinnati Costs Mets Baserunner

[@darinlegore284]

One of most complicated rules. Took me ten years to master it. Still have to review annually. Many times coaches don't appeal at correct time.

[@MaydayAggro]

Yeah, coaches come running out as soon as the batter steps into the box. Good job, coach.

I remember the Dodgers batting out of order in the first inning of a game against the Phillies circa 1980. Former Phillies manager Danny Ozark was the third base coach for the Dodgers and he was the one who brought out the lineup card before the game. And somehow he flubbed something without realizing it. It’s the only time I’ve ever seen this happen in a major league game in over fifty years of watching baseball.

i guess it might give it away but if youre trying to bait the opponent into finishing an AB if they're out of order, just give up a meatball. or an IBB but that might be too hard to pass off.... or wait, couldnt a HBP do it immediately?

[@toptenguy1]

This was well explained but I still find it confusing. the only non-confusing part is : LOL METS!

[@gregbutler5521]

So where in the lineup does Bruce bat next time around?

[@alanhess9306]

He bats 4th, after Flores. Batting out of order does not change the the official batting order.
