INT.
Wow, what "time to track"? He started to looked up to see if the ball might go fair or foul, and almost simultaneously the catcher ran into his back. I've got a tangle/untangle on this one.

Kemp's was pretty obvious. He looked up and then stepped in front of the catcher.

Exactly. He looked up and didn't run. This is INT.

If you stand there and watch the ball or you freeze after a bunt, instead of running to first, then I go along with Tim C. Your out.

When the Batter and Fielder are both doing what they are supposed to, then you have a tangle/untangle situation.

Why do announcers ALWAYS disagree with the call?

Don't answer that, I know...
