Controversial Interference Call

Chipper made no effort to run around F5. Chipper landed hard on top of the bag and was later ruled safe. The Pirates skipper managed to stay in the game after the call against the Pirates.

Was there going to be a throw after F5 fielded the ball to possibly retire a runner?

There was a throw but, it was not very good because the fielder had the runner on his back. That is why I thought there would be some call.
