Warren, two things
FIRST: You said: "You can penalise the subject behaviour either by applying OBR 6.08(c) or by applying 7.07. The offenses are identical."
This is not true. 6.08(c) is for a catcher interfering with the batter. 7.07 is for the specific case where, in addition to the CI, R3 was also trying to steal home on the pitch.
The original play had R3 breaking for home on the play, so 7.07 is the one to apply.
SECOND: Your post that I "corrected" had THIS play described:
B1 about to take the pitch
R3 starts for home as soon as
Pitcher is in motion to throw
Catcher sees this and JUMPS IN FRONT of Batter and catches the ball.
It was in response to this that you said: "3. Award all stealing or forced runners, including R3, one base."
As this CLEARLY had the catcher jumping in front of the batter, 7.07 most definitely is the rule to apply.
