IMathews- we're talking straight MLB rules that have no slide rule period.
So in your first 2 situations, there is no call. Apparently from the information in this thread, he can legally break up a DP this way. No INT call.
In the third sit, if the player does anything like swat at the ball (ala A-Rod) or put his hands up, then yes, that's INT.
Now, if there was a force play slide rule much like NFHS and NCAA, then the first 2 situations are definitely INT.
Also, don't drop names of coaches like that on these forums - could get into some trouble that way.
