NFump...you hit the nail on the head...
Quote:
Did the batter step out of the box? Yes
Did the catcher throw in an attempt to retire a runner? Yes
Did batter interfere with said throw? Yes
Is it an out? You bet your bippy.

It's ah...SWEET bippy.
I can't believe someone would reward (SB) the clueless team (OFFENSE) when the defense did everything right. The batter got in the way of the throw not the other way around...
The drag bunt example is dead-on (thinking Ichiro).
