left foot on foul line running toward first, throw hits him in middle of back. It was obviously not a good throw, but is that a consideration?

However, if BR's left foot is completely in fair territory while he is running toward first and within 45 feet of 1st, is he out no matter how bad a throw it is? If not, then where is the exception in 8-4-1g?

Maybe the throw does matter, but all I can find is 8-4-2g says "A fielder is not protected, except from intentional contact if he misplays the ball and has to move from his original location ... but this does not seem to apply.

My gut tells me that the throw must have some degree of success into order to call interference.

Now if I look at this rule and judge that the catcher misplays the ball by making a bad throw then maybe this will work. Help
