As suggested by mcrowder and a god suggestion I might add so as to not hijack a thread.
How we treat obstruction .
In New Zealand if a player is obstructed they are protected between the bases they were obstructed .Same all over the world I hope .
However I note that some umpires determine on the hit where the runner will end up ie Mentally I say that is a 3 bagger so if they stop on first after being obstructed the umpire will give them 3rd .
In NZ we only give them the base that they attempt to go to.
So in same scenario they would only get 1st as that is all they have tried for .
Reasoning is we dont know they even would have gone for 3rd, they may be lazy .
I am sure this is mcrowders interpretation and some others but it would be nice to get some others thoughts .
