OC comes unglued saying R1 didn't try (intend) to hinder F2's attempt to stay with the play. The rule change has removed intent from the equation, leaving it to U's judgement whether or not interference occured. OC may have had a point last season, but not now?
Agree or disagree here? - Thanks

So, besides your partner's rule knowledge, I'm wondering about his judgment. A runner who hadn't gotten second and he thinks she "belongs" on third. If this had been obstruction near the plate and R2 had been the obstructed runner tagged out at home, an award of third would obviously not sound right.
