Carl, I agree strongly with Bob's statement here.
You and I have had discussions regarding who gets the benefit of doubt. I stand strong that I will not provide the offending team the benefit of any doubt. The batter hindering the catcher in your situation IS a violation which can possibly cause advantage to be gained. Any doubt in my mind as to whether the defense could have got the runner out at 2nd will go to the defense. After all, the defense has done absolutely nothing wrong to end up on the short end of this call.
