Because of this:
Rule 3, Section 6B PANTS/SLIDING PANTS:
All players’ pants may be long, short, or mixed in style, as long as they are like in color. Players may wear a solid-colored pair of sliding pants. It is not mandatory that all players wear sliding pants, but if more than one player wears them, they must be like in color and style. No player may wear ragged, frayed or slit legs on exposed sliding pants.
Pants (shorts) are not considered an item that is referenced in Rule 6.

I believe there were 2 rules quoted that kind of 'blended' together. One was talking about batter-runner interference and the other was talking about runner interference. Bad editing.

Yes. Unless you don't consider a pitch to be a throw. Then, there is another time the base ump is responsible for a call at 3B. On a steal.
