As much as I enjoy picking on Mike for his age, he's probably not old enough to have been in the room, but... I'll just let you wonder.

Then if you aren't clear on the justification, how can you eject the player?
Look, read the definition of OBS:
Quote:
OBSTRUCTION: The act of a defensive team member:
A. Who hinders or impedes a batter from striking at or hitting a pitched ball.
B. Who impedes the progress of a runner or batter-runner who is legally running the bases unless the fielder is:
1. in possession of the ball.
2. in the act of fielding a batted ball.

Read #1 in that list. They have the ball. It's not OBS.
