My Final rebuttal to WMB's position.
IMO, it is unfair to require a runner to ait until the ball has passed in front of her before proceeding to the next base, just because the fielder chose to setup to field the ball behind the baseline. Now if the fielder is charging the ball and flinches because of the runner, then I would call interference, but if the fielder bobbles the ball because she chose to wait for the ball to get to her and lost sight of it as the runner went by, then I would not call interference in that case.
