You've missed my point.
It doesn't matter that the order would be the same.
The changed timing means that every pitch and every swing would be different.
We change pitchers and even if we get out of it, Frazier would bat at a different time. That changes everything. Frazier might still hit a double, as he sometimes hits doubles. But what he actually did on this AB is likely not particularly relevant ton what he would have done if the timing is different.
