Sigh.


J/R opines that once the pitch has been misplayed by F2, the batter is now an 'offensive teammate' for purposes of INT. Generally speaking, INT by an offensive teammate needs to be 'blatant and avoidable' to be called such. Now, this OP could still be called INT, I only state that the bar for such a call is higher for a misplayed pitch than a cleanly caught pitch. IMO, this higher standard very nearly must be intent, or 'blatant and avoidable' indifference.

Your cites do not address pitches that have passed F2, but rather pitches correctly handled by F2. Again, another reason why one often must go to other authoritative sources to resolve unusual situations.
And no, you probably won't find 'INT by offensive teammate', 'neighborhood play', or 'last time by' in the OBR ruleset, either.
