tibear, if you want to apply logic to a few of the baseball rules, you may as well try to teach a pig to sing. It's easier to learn the rules, their interpretation, and application.

That's the way it is now except the BR (while not entirely in the running lane) must interfere with
the fielder taking the throw at first base - not the throw itself. That's a not so subtle difference. There must be a throw and it must be a "quality" throw. If the umpire rules the BR did interfere with the fielder taking the throw at first base, it an immediate dead ball, the BR is out, and runners return to their TOP bases.
