new question hijack
I didn't want to start another topic about OBS, so I'm hijacking this one.
Any comments about procedure on this play, not necessarily ASA?
Ball hit to outfield, R1 rounding 3rd is OBS by F5, called by PU. R1 continues to home, barely beaten by throw and tagged "out". PU judges the OBS made enough difference that R1 would have beaten the throw without it. PU calls dead ball, checks position of other runners; announces "runner safe on obstruction - at 3rd".
Edited to stop confusing readers:
announces "runner safe at home -- obstructed at 3rd".
