David I gotta disagree. We don't have enough info on sitch #1.
Saturday I had this: R1 no outs. Batter bunts. Catcher picks ball in front of home plate and pegs BR in the back of the helmet. BR was in the lane. Do you have interference? No,you have an errant throw. In the situation presented by gordo unless R2 deliberately interferes with throw by the pivot man I have nothing but an errant throw.
Sitch #2 is a obviously a FPSR play! The fact that the batter gorked the ball for a cheap hit does not remove the force play. I may have interference on this play. Hard to say. Again hard to picture play as described.

I don't have my book with me, and this is a force play at the base, but not a FPSR since there is no attempt at a double play.
I'll have to look at my rulings, I know FED has some strange interpretations on this, but Carl did a sheet on these and I'll check back on that one.
Since the runner is obviously safe and the play is a base hit, I'm still not going to penalize the runner and I'm certainly not calling it a DP.
thanks
