I did not see the 'consistent' mention in the ASA rules, so thought this was also legal. (2) Same pitcher at one point during a pitch, dropped his glove during the delivery. I assumed that this was a legal pitch if this was construed as 'un-intentional'. However, once a 2nd occurrence occurred, it could be construed as 'intentional' and ruled as an illegal pitch?

If you ruled the dropping of the glove was a deliberate act of unsportsmanlike conduct, it could be called in IP. However, if you do, you must then eject the pitcher.

OBS: R1 on 3rd when B/R hits a ground ball to 2nd. F4 throws to F5 who now has R1 off of 3rd in a run-down. As the ball is thrown to each of the fielders to catch R1, F6 is in the base-path of R1 (yet no contact) which makes R1 veer to the right and R1 is then tagged out by F6 on the way back to 3rd base. RULING: Call OBS on F6 and award R1 3rd base since this was where R1 was headed?

That would make sense if that is the base R1 would have reached safely had there been no OBS.
