did they call him out for tossing the running glove? Seems like that should be a rule just like throwing a fielding glove at a player or ball is an out.

No, he scored a run.   Supposedly because it didn't hit Dingler (it did hit him) it didn't rise to "interference", I agree it should have been an out.   He claimed he just lost it, the video seems to show he threw it.

yeah whether the interference succeeded or not should not be the test.

And the general reaction among the Ms fans in this thread is like, yeah, he did, so the **** what, if you aint cheatin you aint tryin. Whoda thunk Reddit people could ever be like that. 😏

And the 1st announcer...."and it....it just left his hand"......yeah right.

He definitely seemed to throw it and the intent seemed to be to interfere.  It seems like it should be interference, but I'm not sure what the rule is.  Does intent matter if it doesn't hit him?

All because Stone Garrett would not share the peanut butter knife.

I’m not sure there are any rules that contemplate the throwing of the sliding glove specifically, but there are a couple rules that might point indirectly to it.

6.01(a)(6): If, in the judgment of the umpire, a base runner willfully and deliberately interferes with a batted ball or a fielder in the act of fielding a batted ball with the obvious intent to break up a double play, the ball is dead. The umpire shall call the runner out for interference and also call out the batter-runner because of the action of his teammate. In no event may bases be run or runs scored because of such action by a runner (see Rule 6.01(j)).

Rule 5.09(a)(8): If, in the umpire’s judgment, there is intent on the part of a baserunner to interfere with a batted or thrown ball by dropping the helmet or throwing it at the ball, then the runner would be out, the ball dead and runners would return to last base legally touched.

The first one specifies breaking up a double play, and the second one specifies a helmet and nothing else, but they both reflect the spirit on what happened with Naylor, and a sharp umpire who has committed every word to memory could possibly have repurposed either of these rules to apply here.
