A little clarifing please
SIT1: B1 hits grounder to F6 who overthrows F3, F3 turns to retrieve ball and makes contact with B1 turning 1st.
QUESTION: Do you believe in this SIT: you have obstruction on F3 or normaly rule incidental contact. If you do normaly rule obstruction but believe B1 would have been a dead duck at 2nd do you put B1 on 1st or 2nd??
SIT2: B1 hits gapper to left center when B1 rounds 1st he makes contact with F3 watching the ball you rule obstruction and in your mind believe the runner would make it to 3rd easily without the obstruction but is put out sliding into 3rd.
QUESTION: Obstruction rules states that a runner is put out between the two bases he was obstructed with then you would award base(s) which I would understand on SIT2: being 1st and 2nd so if he was put out at 3rd even though you thought he would have made it to 3rd he is out?? Or is the rule 2 bases being discussed in the rule in this situation anywhere between 1st and 3rd??
Come on guys we need to liven up this board
