Oops. I guess I kicked that one.
Thanks for the reply. I didn't consider that the NCAA might have a different rulebook. Doh! I should have remembered that. I was assuming ASA rules.
We play by ASA rules. I see players blocking the base without the ball all the time. Obstruction is called so infrequently that I began to question my understanding of the rule.
Similar oddball things happen alot in our league...
Does the pitcher HAVE to throw 4 pitches to issue an intentional pass? Ruling by one blue: No; Actual rule: yes
Can a base coach carry an indicator ("clicker")? Ruling by several blues: No; Actual rule: yes
I'm wierd. I like the ASA rulebook.
