Although I wouldn't say the play falls strictly in the 45-foot lane category, I think the plate ump would not have been out of line to call this obvious interference right away. If I had been the base ump, I would have appreciated the immediate call. I would not have felt infringed upon.

This is not the same as ruling safe/out, and it's not a common mechanic like foot off the bag.
