Most certainly, Bob.

Pete, I noticed you left this part out, a whole bat being thrown into fair territory. Also the rule just reference by Bob shows you that this isn't a "batter" any longer, he's a runner. This makes 6.05 the wrong rule. Next, he didn't throw the bat into fair territory, he threw it into foul territory. I know, I know, it doesn't matter. He caused the problems and should be penalized even if it wasn't intentional (which you can't judge because it's impossible to do so). So, despite a ruling which shows you that interference with a thrown ball requires intent, you're going to call him out because that's the "easier" call to make.

WWTB, please quote the post from TAC in this thread. You can't because he hasn't posted anything in this thread. Bob neither agreed nor disagreed with either of us but gave an alternate ruling that quite honestly would seem to be a reasonable way to handle this. JJ is in "your" camp only because this is the "easiest" for him, that's a real good reason. Like I said, if you see this runner's action as intentional, then call him out. Don't try to make up some BS to cover your butt.
