What I was trying to say earlier was that I now "SAY" obstruction way TOO SOON. I have the delayed call sign on at the time OBS happens, but need to wait to see if there is an out before SAYING obstruction. Many times the runner makes it to the plate/base anyhow. This mistake I want to make only happens at the plate when I feel I need to make a snap call. Before this year, the contact as the ball was arriving was " a big nothing" no delayed call or immediate call required.
