The voice could very well be used as an obstruction .
A fielder comes up very close to the batter and voices obscenities or derogatory remarks and puts the batter off .
The same applies to a fielder using threatening language to a runner who backs off a base and is tagged .
A shout " get out af my way " as the runner runs to a base and startles a runner who misses a stride .
All of these could be obstruction if in the "judgement of the umpire" they think it is .
Could we go further then on the other side can we have vocal interference ?
I think we can .
