Then again, there is UC.
The definition of obstruction doesn't include verbal, although it doesn't seem to exclude it either, anymore than the definition of interference. The POE for interference (33) does include a verbal distraction; not so on obstruction (36). But, I can't really think of a circumstance where I would rule it to have happened. Remembering that the runners have base coaches to whom they should be listening rather than defensive players, I would be REALLY hard pressed to do it. Can you give an example of your thoughts, Cecil?

Or, did you just have it reversed in your thoughts, but type it out wrong?
