I don't see any butterflies on the field.

Both are equally relevant to this play.

A prior post had referenced the PBUC with the bona fide term used. Does the PBUC pertain to MLB play?

No, it doesn't.

More than likely the MLBUM which does pertain to MLB might have contained or still does contain that language also. Whether Joe Torre wants that language to be adhered to is a different question.

Freeze the clip at 25 seconds and you will see what is probably a violation of the latter paragraphs of the PBUC verbiage.

In real time, a judgement call.

Agreed that MLBUM contains it (iirc), and that it's judgment, and that the judgment might have been "wrong" and that even if MLB says it's wrong we might not know that.

I don't have INT here under pure OBR. Holliday could have reached the bag if his arm wasn't a foot above the ground.

From what I have heard, Bob, it is MLB's opinion, albeit a quiet one, that a DP interference should, in fact, have been called.
