What, exactly, are you basing your call of interference on? A player talking? If so, do you call interference every time they use one of those chants aimed at the other team? If not, why? Isn't the intent of the chant, at least partially, to get into the head of the other team? Do you call interference when a coach is yelling "go, go, go," and the player, in their infinite wisdom pulls up at third anyway, and a throws goes home because the defense might have heard the coach yelling???

Interference can only be called when something has been done by the offense to actively hinder a play. I just don't see that here.

The players, both offense and defense, are supposed to know the situation of the game. I would be interested in hearing your support for the call of interference.
