I'm not sure why receiving an error on the play takes away the right of the defense to still make a play on a runner. If F2 screws up by not catching the ball, but still has the chance to pick up the ball and retire an advancing runner, BR shouldn't now be protected from an IF call, inadvertant or not, simply because F2 let the ball get away. Play has not yet ceased.

I am not for rewarding the defense for their errors either. But they shouldn't have the right taken away from them to make a play unhindered by interference, whether intentional or not.
