bossman,
Are you thinking along the lines that occur on a tag play? Where once the fielder has touched the ball the runner can legally leave the base to advance. But on the other hand, the fielder(s) on the batted (directly or indirectly) ball has multiple protected chances to touch and field the ball. If on the fly ball/tag play the rules prevent the fielder from delaying the runner's time to advance by intentionally bobbling the ball while he runs closer to the play why wouldn't you protect the runner from a fielder intentially bobbling a batted ground ball in front of a runner to obtain an interference call and a dead ball.
