I had 6 DII games in a dome this weekend. It was very fun to get going again. I had Minnesota last weekend in the metrodome. Their 1st batter is quite fast. Obstruction is going to be a hot topic this spring. I had a play where we had a bunt with the runner from third coming home. The catcher straddles home plate and the runner decides to do a wrap around slide even though the entire plate is in front of them. She would have been safe had she slid right into home. With a throw coming from first she wants be away from the throw. But she comes in and misses the back of the plate and is tagged out trying to crawl back to home. Obstruction? The runners chosen path was into the catchers foot. What is the catcher supose to do? I know it's a HTBT kind of play but what do you think?
I wore my jacket in the dome. It was snowing outside.
