If it's intentional, it's interference. If not, it's not. Either way it's called, get ready to chunk somebody.

I agree with that. I wouldn't consider a batter who has just received a base-on-balls, passing in front of the catcher as interference.
Hell, I'm just trying to come up with reasons as to
WHY the catcher would even be throwing down to 2nd after a walk. I think such reasons exist.
