R2, in no-man's land, gets doubled off 1B by the appeal throw (very close play).
BR is standing on 1B as the throw comes in.
If (IMJ), BR's foot blocked F3's access to 1B, would we have a retired runner INT, R1 out?
Or is retired BR handled differently than retired R?
(I'm guessing, if BR stepped off the bag, toward F3, to block the glove touch, it would be a no-brainer INT)

Apparently, BR is out on the fly ball catch, so retired runner rule applies.
The question is then who is out. By 8-7-N, it's the runner closest to home.
That becomes a timing play.
Someone say it's not that complicated.
