Interference

[Buck912]

Hey Don, I think everyone that replied to this thread will agree with the 2 rules you sited and the intent of both. However, they are talking about the batter vacating the box when there's a throw coming home or some type of play at the plate. A batter exiting the plate area or congested area for a throw or play is definitely not the same as being in the box when a pitch is delivered. By the rules, they have to vacate in one instance but they don't have to in the other. Can we agree on this one?
