I guess that makes it seven to three.

Bob,
If you've got nothing, then would you award bases in the play I described?
I don't understand you folks. It seems to me you're not digging deep enough. If the follow-through knocks the ball from the catcher's mitt and the runner advances, I don't understand how you can allow this play to stand.
You're actually saying that if the batter strikes the catcher before he gains possession, then it's weak interference - but if he strikes him after he gains possession, it's okay.
I'm utterly baffled.
