No way on God's green earth would I call this interference.

I think the only way you could call vocal interference is if the runner yelled something that only an umpire should yell and it causes the predicable reactions.

Like "FOUL BALL".

Even in a text book, or on a skinned infield.

Depends on who says foul ball.

Just continuing the discussion...

R1 on 1st base... batter pops up F4. R1 yells "I got it". F4 muffs the catch.

Still no call?

Back to the OP....I agree with it being bush league and I too have nothing here.
If some crap like that happened in baseball, that bush league player who yelled it would probably be found on their backside the next time they stepped in the batters box.

Though while "considered" acceptable in baseball, it is just as "bush" as the original act, not to mention assault. Everyone talks about how this is part of the game with a snicker until it is their child injured by such an acceptable response.

Is it going to take a death before some of these idiots wake up and understand the repercussion of such a stupid act?

Nah. That won't do it. Remember Ray Chapman?

Maybe I'm reading too much into your response, but doesn't that mean you might find it "interference"? BTW, I'm not talking about R1 going out of the way to do this, maybe she's just running a couple feet away from F4, sees her setting up for the catch and yells.

I'll let you know when I see it.

R1 yells "I got it", F4 muffs the catch; almost assuredly NOTHING. R1 yells "I got it", and F4 flinchs away, or backs off from a ball camped under, much more likely interference.

Bottom line (in my judgement), if F4 is catching the ball regardless the call, and fails, too bad, F4 failed. If F4 reacts thinking a teammate is calling off, more possibly verbal interference.
