He then asks me if we can have interference, even if its late.
So I thought we could and so we had the batter out and runner returned to 1B.
There is a reason for an immediate dead ball on interference and I was reminded of the reason today. I'm pretty sure we got it right but it looked horrible, as in really not good. 
So can we come up with a delayed interference on this play ? |
Speaking ASA
What the hell is "delayed interference"? Do you have a signal for it?
No, this is interference, was interference in the past and will be in the future. The batter has no purpose or right to move out of the batter's box in any direction and interfere with a play.
