So, I think we've all agreed that the rulebook leaves something to be desired but you all are changing what seems to me the wrong piece.
Three rules:
1. A Runner/Batter-Runner who interferes with a play on the ball while the ball is foul/fair makes the ball immediately foul/fair.
2. A batter does not become a batter runner until hitting a fair ball. (Plus other presently irrelevant stuff.)
3. Interference by the batter-runner requires a batted ball and by the runners requires a fair ball or fly foul ball. And on the batter it's a whole different ball game.
So in this situation, I'd let parts of three go long before I'd consider letting any of part 1 go.
I'm presently unconvinced by anyone that in this situation the correct thing to do is not call an out for interference and a foul ball. What am I missing?
