Garth,
I didn't mean to.
The point I was trying to make is that bobbybanaduck seems to suggest that it would be improper to award the BR 2B because he never "completed" his effort to reach 2B after he was obstructed.
I believe that is not a proper criteria for determining the correct ruling on the play.
Forest seem
ed to
have been suffering under the misapprehension that a runner can NEVER be awarded an advance base on a Type B obstruction - which the case play I cited shows is patently wrong.
Somebody doesn't understand how to rule on Type B obstruction under OBR. Maybe it's me.
Havng seen the video, where would you have placed the BR if his 1B coach hadn't shoved him towards 2B?
JM
P.S. I would concur with your assessment of U3's performace on the play in question.
