Situation #1: R3. BR hits fly ball to the outfield. However, the BR's swing was interfered with by the catcher. Outfielder makes the catch after which R3 tags up and scores. Umpire invokes the catcher interference, awarding 1st to the BR and sending R3 back to 3rd. Offensive manager wants the result of the play instead. Fine! BR is now out and R3 scores. Play continues. Pitcher steps off mound and tosses to F5. They're appealing that R3 left too soon. Umpire agrees and calls R3 out!
Just for the record: I assume it is now too late for the offensive manager to say, "I changed my mind! We'll take the catcher's inteference."
Situation #2: R2. BR doubles. However, the BR's swing was interfered with by the catcher. Catcher interference is ignored and the play stands. Play continues with the pitcher appealing to 1st that BR missed the bag. Umpire agrees. Now what?
