Batter Interference????

[NFump]

As I said before, if you want to call your game that way and it makes you happy, "GO FOR IT." In fact, the ruling neither supports your call or mine, as long as it leaves open the umpires decision to discern "Intent."

Actually jice, it supports the call both ways. I totally agree with you, if you judge intent, by all means, call the runner out. I have stated and state again, I don't see intent here. Without intent this is a live ball play on. WWTB is claiming to be able to call this runner out based on (1) because he doesn't need intent (which is contradictory to the rule) (2) because the batter-runner is the one who caused the problem (what rule is that again?) (3) because that's the way it's called (nuff said)
(4) by bringing up an NCAA ruling (which are not being used here) (5) by calling this "batter interference" (which it is clearly not). What's next?
"I say he's out just because NFump says he's not". That's basically what it comes down to. Not to mention the fact that in every post he attempts to insult and denigrate those arguing against him.
