Well... not really. We only achieved the runner in scoring position by batting out of order. Remember, the transposition NCFB --> NFCB causes us to bat out of order three times. First when Flores batted after Nimmo (should have been Cabrera). Second when Cabrera batted after Flores (should have been Bruce). Third when Bruce batted after Cabrera (should have been Flores). Bruce is called out for batting out of order. Bruce's PA (taken by Cabrera) is erased. So we never had a man in scoring position under any circumstances.
Let's say Flores had gotten a hit. Then when Cabrera had approached the plate Cincy would have protested. Cabrera would have been called out for batting after Nimmo. Cabrera's actual PA, taken by Flores, would have been erased. Bruce would have come up with two outs. Interestingly, in that situation Bruce is OK to bat because he is considered to be batting after "the legitimate batter" Flores who is considered never to have batted because Cabrera stole his spot. This despite the fact that Flores actually did something and Cabrera did nothing.
I like the rule and I'm pretty sure it makes sense, it's just really difficult at first.
