Related question, along the line of there has to be a play possibility. Batted ball in the air, caught or touched by a base coach. My impression is that it's the umpire's judgement whether a fielder could have caught the ball and if so, it's interference. If not, a public warning.

That's the way I call it. If the fielders are not going for the ball, it is a foul ball and a warning to the coach. If the player is going for the ball, I give the player the benefit of the doubt.

And we should, hell its their field. OOOOOps, Mike isn't
going to allow me that.
