Which has nothing, really, to do with whether it is interference. It might be trash talking, (which can also escalate), but trash talking (especially with adult players) is not interference. JMO (caveat , and take it for what it is worth, since I don't call slow pitch).

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
