Well,
That's pretty exhaustive. I hope you never protest one of my calls, JM.
I agree, though: the plain intent of the rule is to place the burden on the runner to avoid a batted ball and to give the defense the opportunity to defend. If the runner positions himself in the outfield, I see no reason to insist on the letter of the law and allow the runner to interfere with a batted ball just because he's sufficiently far from the infield.
You might say that I'm making up my own rules, but then you wouldn't have read the coach's post.
