I was the OC and told my runner I thought he should have been called for interference......was I right?

Yes! If I am the BU, I turn two on this one.

If you call 2 outs on this, head for the hills. I will be if I am your partner.

How are you going to get two, Kimosabe? You make-um up rule?

Oh, runner on second only. I thought Runners on 1st and 2nd.

Bring out Emily Litella, again.

Doesn't matter. You can only get two outs under OBR if the runner willfully and deliberately interferes ... with the obvious attempt to break up a DP. That's a pretty high standard.

I was thinking FED.
