HP umpire gave the out sign before the throw, so he was called out for kicking the ball.

IMO it looked intentional but wasn't.

Another blue costs us, er, ah, I mean the M's the game. This was the spark that was gonna lead to a 7 run inning ;')...

My confirmation that this was a correct call was your statement that it was a blown call ... but that's for another time.

The OP said that the ball deflected into the batter immediately ... which would be nothing. The recent claim that the ball was at rest when it was contacted by the batter is a COMPLETELY different story - and IS interference.
