I'm not at all saying that it is not possible for a BR out of the running lane to interfere with F3 taking the throw from F2 by causing F2 to delay the throw, or by getting in the way of the throw such that the throw is a lob or something.
All I am saying is in making the judgment just don't be too quick to let the catcher off the hook for a bad throw merely because the BR happened to be out of the lane.
Defenders have to find a clear throwing lane all the time. If they can't do it skillfully, that part is not the BR's fault.
