McCrowder-
I didn't say i would win easily, I said i thought I would win easily. Apparently not. My protest would be that OBS was called as a judgement call and I didn't think other umpires could overule judgement calls. To me this isn't any different than the U1 calling a runner safe at first and then having the PU say - "Nope, that runner was a half step late-out." Then U3 says -"Looked out from here" I thought U1 had to make the final determination (even if he/she goes for help). I did not realize that a majority of other umpires could overrule.
As to another question, the reason I would send the runner to third is that perhaps the ball could still be thrown away or I might ger B/R to 2B. Thanks for the heads up, though. Whenever I see the umpire signal OBS I thought that was for the coaches benefit. Why signal OBS if the call may change later? Just a question.
Thanks for the information on this thread.
