Bunt, runner is in fair territory (not in lane) catcher throws to safety side of bag and goes off 1b glove. Ump called interference. Valid call? Is it pure judgement call?
As described, it sounds like F2 had a clear throwing lane in foul territory to F3 so the BR not running in the lane is irrelevant since BR did not in any way interfere with F3 receiving the throw at first base. But yes it is a judgement call.. perhaps blue saw something else that is not described here.
Or is it the throw was to the open lane in foul territory because th runner had not used the lane, therefor judgement call interfernce? Hard to think the catcher would intentionally throw to outside of first.
