Question: are you saying your first judgment (that this was a triple) was wrong, or are you saying that the defense was slow enough in retrieving the ball that it NOW looks like it would have been a home run?

Even without the second OBS, it would appear that as the runner passed 2nd, you were revising your judgment on where she would have ultimately ended up.

Personally, I would have revised the judgment at the time of the 2nd OBS and awarded her home. I have no idea if that notion is supported by clinicians and/or NUS.

But this play illustrates my discomfort with the "judge now and don't revise" teaching about OBS.
