Deflected batted ball interpretation - Page 2

I've heard that phrase from quite a few coaches and umpires over the past couple of years: "The word intentional has been removed from the rules".

But that phrase isn't absolute and doesn't work as a blanket statement. The word "intentional" was removed from some of the rules- it certainly wasn't removed from all of them!

Actually, all that did was place more emphasis on what the umpire judges to be interference.
