As I noted elsewhere, like Obamacare, this is ass backwards.

Cannot have a collision without the runner plowing over the catcher, so have the courage to penalized the runner for the act being committed and trust (and force) the umpires to make the OBS calls WHEN OBSTRUCTION OCCURS.

They are placing the demands, restrictions and penalties at the wrong end of the issue.

Not to flog the dead horse yet again, but WGN announcers deem OBR rule 7.13 "BS" multiple times on the air, as well as asking if the recent rule changes in football are going to make it a "little girl's game". Awesome.

Again, the umpire gets it right, the NY gets it wrong.

It is terrible, absolutely terrible. Again, it is a stupid rule targeting the wrong player.

I have seen that a lot this year with IR. A lot. Matter of fact, IR in baseball has proven to be nothing but a CF.
