Caught that too. One of the announcers said it. Practically speaking, I guess in MLB he's right. I've seen much worse done on slides and it hasn't been called. The runner in this case could have slid to the right within reach of the base and taken Counsel's feet out and it would not have been int. He went in standing up crouched as he passed the base. I don't even know if I would have had int. in high school.

I was wondering that one myself?? I must have missed that update. In all honesty, I'm not sure how they got interference on the play at all. Obvously, it was the FPSR.

This is definitely interference, per 6.05(m). MLBUM 6.3 indicates that any intentional contact with a fielder attempting a double play that is not a legitimate attempt to advance and stay on a base is interference. Given that Victorino overran second like he was running to first, it is quite obvious that it was not an attempt to stay on the base.
