What I see here is how do we interpret the word 'TAKING', as in when is the fielder in the act of taking the throw. Is the fielder in the process of taking the throw when the throw is being made or after the throw leaves the hand of the thrower? I don't know. I dislike calls where I have to determine what the player was thinking, the less the better. If there is a bad throw, now I have to determine if the thrower is trying to avoid hitting the runner. While I appreciate a catcher not wanting to hit the BR in the back, if the BR is out of the lane it isn't the catcher's fault if the BR gets hit. This is a tough one.
