What is the call when the catcher is not doing what she is supposed to do?

Cannot call OBS on a fielder making a play on a batted ball. INT is a possibility, but according to ASA's umpire manual should probably just be considered a "train wreck" as long as both players were just doing what they are supposed to be doing (to which Whiskers was referring). As long as one players did not "push" (read: control) the other's movements.
It is obviously one of those things that you just have to see before deciding what should be done.

Mike,
Suppose the catcher pushes the batter-runner out of her way? What's the call? Since she is playing a batted ball we can't get her for obstruction.
