Not extrapolating, specifying
Rich,
This is not a generality...
This is obstruction -- if it happened between the plate and first in a FED game, leave him at first.
This was blanket advice.
I understand what the original post said, but in Fed, Umpire Judgement allows the award beyond first. The penalty you impose must fit the infraction, but in High School baseball, the penalty is always the harshest allowable. We can and do put runners on second and third when they have been obstructed before reaching first. A lot of people read these posts as Gospel. Some catch snippets and take them to the field. I was not ripping you, just criticizing the advice as being too general.
