Running outside the three-foot lane AND interfering with the fielder receiving the throw is.

I see these as synonymous if the running violation happens inline with the positioning for the throw of F2.

Mental note to self...If I'm ever an F2 while Simply's working the plate...

Lock into reality, sir.

I agree that he was well away from the base, though I've seen that ignored (including in the past few seasons).

What surprised me was that I didn't see any actual hindrance of the defense. F6 completed the relay and got the BR.

By sliding wide R1 is liable for interference under OBR, but sliding wide as such does not as such constitute interference. Or at least I didn't think so...

Again... STAY OFF THE FIELD and go back to team-momming.
