Interesting. I checked out the OBR (on MLB.com) and found that while a scorekeeper is specifically directed _not_ to say anything if a player bats out of order, the 'keeper _is_ supposed to speak up if the team leaves the filed with less than 3 outs.
From Rule 10.01:
quote:
(2) If the teams change sides before three men are put out, the scorer shall immediately inform the umpire of the mistake. ***
(5) The scorer shall not call the attention of the umpire or of any member of either team to the fact that a player is batting out of turn.

That's for the Official Scorer at pro games. Or at games (tournaments, etc) where there is an Official Scorer not affiliated with any team. A scorekeeper for a team doesn't have those restrictions.

The Official Scorer and a team's scorekeeper are two different animals.
