Interference

1. If R1 does not slide nor move out of the way on a DB and unintentionally causes F4 to miss the DP, R1 is still guilty of interference and you get the DP.

2. I assume that with R1 and R2, a grounder to F5, F5 steps on 3B and goes to 2B for a force out DP, if R2 does not slide or give it up and unintentionally gets in the way of the throw, he is also guilty of interference and you get the DP.

3. Bases loaded, crappy bunt sits in front of home. F2 picks it up steps on home for out, and then goes to 3B for a DP. If R3 does not slide or give it up and unintentionally gets in the way of the throw, he is also guilty of interference and you get the DP.

If these above are true (please let me know if you disagree), then why is BR not guilty of interference on this play and no DP given:

4. R3 only less than 2 out. Grounder in the infield is thrown to F3 and BR is out. F3 turns and tries to throw home to get DP on R3 trying to score, but is prevented from doing so because BR unintentionally gets in the way of the throw home.

Why do we not get a DP on this play?

editted: because there is no such thing as a double BLAY in baseball
