Jim Evans, in his annotated, has suggested that an option should only be provided on a play where the batter is able to bat the ball, despite the interference.
Here is the passage:
"A play following interference should be construed to mean a play which results from a ball being batted despite the interference. A play which develops after an interference and is the result of a passed ball or a wild pitch should be governed by the award of first base to the batter and one base to any runner attempting to steal when the defensive interference occurs. ..7.04(d) and 7.07."
