Blue could possibly determine outcome

[brumey1107]

Question.

Our Umpire's association here in the great Pacific Northwest (NBUA) instructs us to call CI on this play "only if" the catcher makes a throw.

As it reads in OBR 6.06 c ...He interferes with the catcher's fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter's box....

The reasoning is how can you have a batter interfere on a throw if one is never made.

Pete - Do believe the rule as written for OBR needs changing or do you call CI even when there is no throw?

Thanks.
