In the past I have been upbraided on this board for casually using the term force out to describe an out made by the batter runner at 1B. I knew the difference but did my penance anyway.

Now I find, in 8-7-G: "If the runner put out is the batter-runner at first base, or any other runner forced to advance because the batter became a batter-runner, this is a force out.

Incidentally, when looking up interference by the catcher on an attempted squeeze play, I see that it's covered in (FP/MP) 6-5-C. However, there is no 6-5-C in either FP or MP. Anybody know what happened to it?

I also notice that although the "about to receive" wording was removed from POE #13, it remains in 8-7-Q in the form of "about to catch a thrown ball" and is subsequently termed "interference." Is there any significance to that, or did they simply neglect to delete the words?
