Re the quiz: batters can be penalized a strike for stepping out of the box without permission or refusing to take their place in the batter's box, etc. Thus, no pitches actually have to be thrown.

Indeed, no strikes would even have to be called if the losing team persisted in going to the plate with altered bats. Then the batters would be declared automatically out.
