You didn't answer Bopb's question:
Play:
R2 only, steal attempt.
Batter clearly interfers with F2 attempt -- if fact he interferes so badly that F2 stops.
Are you saying that JEAPU would let the play stand? That a throw is necessary for there to be interference? (I agree that there needs to be an *attempt* to throw, and it's easier to sell the interference if there is a throw.)

Forget a second throw. A poster who made it appear it was an academey student has led us to believe that one cannot call interference without a throw. That is not my recollection of Jimmy's or Sarge's position.
