Okay, Blaine, you caught my attention as I actually had your play #1 occur to me this past Saturday while doing a Fed game (scrimmage). As PU, I scored R3 and put BR at first and left R2 at 2nd (as he was not stealing). I wanted to say that just to point out that some of these off-the-wall plays DO occur.
I would take OBR 7-07 exactly as written in that the catcher needs to come out of the catcher's box to interfere or the catcher contacts batter or bat-----as opposed to bat contacting the catcher. The infractions of 7-07 being quite obvious acts specifically caused by F2.
Just my opinion,
