David bats. After the first pitch to David, Bobs
at bat is legal. If the defense protests during

Carl is the proper next batter after Bob but he
is already on base. The rules specify that we
skip over his name and go on to David, who is
already at bat. Now David is the proper batter
and we proceed from there in the batting order.

Can the other team now protest and wipe out the
