If obstruction as defined in rule 2-22-1 states, "Obstruction is an act (intentional or unitentional, as well as physical or VERBAL) by a fielder, any member of the defensive team or its team personnel that hinders a runner or changes the pattern of the play".
"Changes the Pattern of play"
That basically covers baiting a runner at third to try to steal home doesn't it?
