C'mon guys, not one mistake here, but two!

1. They called the batter out for interference (wrong: the batter is afforded a complete opportunity to hit the pitch, and is not expected to disappear just because F2 needs to throw to 3B),

AND

2. they called R2 out because the throw "would have made it in time!" (wrong: on batter interference, wait to see whether F2's first throw retires a runner - if so, ignore the interference, if not, call the batter out, not the runner - never a DP for batter interference).

Ugh.
