This was absolutely and intentionally obstruction.
Type B. Had I been the ump, I likely would have scored Castro. Arguable, but the offense is getting ALL the benefit of the doubt here.
I'm guessing Lou dropped it because U3 told him he only had Castro protected to 3B. Which is a rasonable and supportable ruling.

I agree. It looked to me like he tried to get up and could not, and maybe the injury came from trying with a catcher on your back. In any event, the catcher laying on him definitely prevented him from getting up and from where the ball rolled he could have reasonably scored.
