My comment was specific to the BR or not aspect. There is a play when a fielder fields a batted ball while foul to
prevent it from going fair, thereby eliminating any advance by BR or R.

My INT call is based on the premise ""
We have concluded in at least two other topics that the B to BR transition happens even though the batted ball does not end up being a fair batted ball; because it is not foul until the foul ball criteria apply and because it must be for the application of rules to make sense".
