If the catcher, while fielding a bunt, throws the ball over F3's head and the umpire determines the the BR's being out-of-the-lane may have caused the bad throw ... call the BR out for a lane violation? C'mon!

I actually seen this called in the MLB playoffs when my local TV station re-airs classic Pittsburgh Pirate's games. It was the series where the Pirates lost to the Braves.... 92' i believe.

I find this hard to believe in a major league game. I can't think of a major league catcher who would try to throw over the batter-runner to avoid hitting him.

Agreed.
But worse - I can't think of a MLB umpire who would award the BR first for the catcher slinging the ball out into right field - notwithstanding the BR being out of the running lane.
