Batter Interference?

[Dougster45]

I shouldn't have made the statement about the catch not turning and making a "good throw". It wound up being an incredible play by the catcher to flip the ball toward the plate. I should have stated that it wasn't a traditional throw.

The game officials mussed the call. They called the batter out, but allowed the score to count. My understanding of batter interference and 2 out, the batter is out, end of inning. With less than 2 out the runner is out, at bat continues.

In my opinion batter interference can be called here because even though he didn't intentionally interfere, he didn't pay attention to what the catcher was doing and he had sufficient time to make sure that he wouldn't interfere with any attempt to put the runner headed for home out. Unfortunately he turned his back on the catcher and the ball. Fortunately, it didn't effect the outcome of the game.

Thanks again for the posts!
