Never mind the point of why call her safe on Obstruction when that only complicates the situation, when she is safe anyway.

I want to read my rule book on another view too. More to come maybe.

If she's safe we don't kill the play. The only time we kill it, is if the runner is out on a play where there is obstruction and we had her protected to the point where she was tagged out. Why kill the play if she is safe? The defense may have an opportunity to get an out at another base.


Never Mind! I re-read this. I thought you meant kill the play. Now I see you meant kill the delay dead ball!
