running lane interference

[MPC]

This is relative to several other issues.

There is a requirement of a "Quality Throw." If BR is running inside and F2 throws it in the dugout, are you going to reward the D for a horseblank attempt? The D still has the repsonsibility to make a resonable effort.

Same with the situation of a batter's interference with a catcher's attempt to retire a runner. The catcher has to make the attempt. If he doesn't, well, there is no attempt. The batter can't interfere with an attempt that wasn't made. I hope no umpires reward the D for the catcher turning around and saying, "Uhhh, I couldn't throw it because he was in my way."

When all else fails, common sense and fair play can keep you out of trouble. This is a common sense situation.
