I agree. Matter of fact, when it happened, I talked with my partner about it, and his response, sadly, was, "he was in the circle, so he can't be called for interfering."

However, since the actions of the ODB did not hinder the defense's ability to get an out, I didn't call INT.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
