Now, we had obstruction on the steal. What is the call? What rule?

Speaking ASA
If the umpire judged that the runner which left the base too soon would not have made it back to 1B even had their been no obstruction, and the defense properly executed a live ball appeal, the runner is out.
Before you all jump on this, go read POE #36 which covers this specific scenario.
