Because that is what I think.
I know I'm probably not calling that OBS right there. If this play is unfolding like countless others I've seen like it, this is softball.

Well, from one millisecond in time, it is hard to say what the call should be. My point was you have to see the play and make your judgment. The rule says nothing about blocking the base and it says nothing about the runner deviating. All it says is the runner may not be impeded. Was this runner impeded? Yes, OBS; no, nothing.
