If enforcing the penalty for intentional interference with a thrown ball is the cruddy end of the stick, then so be it.

Don't get me wrong - I am not advocating calling INT any time a runner slides or runs toward the glove. All the benefit of any doubt goes to the runner. But if a runner deviates from his path in such a way that convinces me his only purpose in doing so is to interfere, then I'm busting him for it.
