Yep, I've got nothing, play on...as long as there wasn't any intention to interfere with the catcher either with the bat or trying to get in his way. If he's standing in the box, ball is live.

I believe 100% of the umpires here will tell you that the correct "non-call" here is play on... so what did the umps on the scene do? (And what happened to the ball after it hit the bat?)

Batter out for interference, runner out because they determined that the throw would have made it to 3rd in time to retire the runner.

Picking boogers is going out of your way to take something irrelevant and making it relevant (sniping for inappropriate comments made 90 feet away, etc). Or maybe making a "by-the-book" call on an insignificant violation (LL: R1 on third lifts his left foot - the only one on the bag - to scratch the ankle and puts it right back down - you drop the flag for leaving early)
This one wasn't picking boogers - it was just wrong.
