I know I was reading that this morning, just looking for a case play, I"ll check by BRD.
Same situation, BR walks but on way to first interferes with F2 throwing to a base we would have interference. Some would say he's just doing what he's supposed to, going to first. There was no intent etc.,
Just trying to clarify,
