Good question, I like heading off trouble before it starts...
6.08(c) ....the manager of the offense may advise the plate umpire that he elects to decline the interference penalty and accept the play. ....If catcher's interference is called with a play in progress the umpire will allow the play to continue because the manager may elect to take the play.
Seems pretty simple Pete. Nothing says we can't use our better judgement and bring both coaches together to avoid embarrasment. I'm with Carl on this about bringing the coaches together and explaining things.
