Australia vs. USA

What an absolutely horrible call, or lack of one, at the plate.

Of course, the THs are just as stupid as to not understand the obstruction.

From ISF Rules:

Sec. 65. OBSTRUCTION.
Obstruction is the act of:
a. A defensive player or team member that hinders or prevents a batter from striking or hitting a pitched ball.
b. A fielder who impedes the progress of a runner or batter-runner who is legally running bases while:
1. not in possession of the ball, or
2. not in the act of fielding a batted ball, or
3. Making a fake tag without the ball, or
4. In possession of the ball and who pushes a runner off a base, or
5. In possession of the ball, but not in the act of making a play on the runner which intentionally impedes
the progress of that runner, while he is legally running the bases.
