M: No, the kid that got in the pickle wasn't obstructed. His out stands.
N: Well, I don't think so. My guy has to be forced home on the obstruction; and by the way, why didn't you call "time" when the obstruction occurred?

I like the bit about the obstruction "forcing" the preceding runner home, as if everyone on the bases got a free pass to the next base! On the field I sometimes have trouble stifling a snicker at these creative touches.
