You can see examples in the PBUC manual. The fact that Dunn was thrown out is moot -- the ball was already dead.

Or you can infer this result since the ball is dead at the moment of interference, B/R has ended his time at bat, isn't out, and needs somewhere to go.

We know where Joe West sits on the issue. It was official and there was no protest lodged for the DP. MLB will continue to ignore it. Whoever speaks for the other side better find a voice to speak up and the right ear to hear them. 7.09 vs 7.11?

Dunn subsequently thrown out at 1B.

Safe for now.
