So where were you intending to go with this.

Exactly, Mike, along with my realizing that I presented this poorly.
May I use light-thinking vacation as an excuse??
Thanks to all for your patience.

I have been criticized for 2 things regarding OBS:
1 - Obstruction calls, no correction actions. A lot of obstruction calls
This brought out my questions about calling it always,
even with no out attempt.
The forum seems to agree with my calling each occurrence
2 - A little to picky on obstruction call.
This brought about my questions about the fielder position,
making sure that no position (except having the ball) excused the fielder from OBS.
With hindrance of the runner of course.
I think the answers and comments confirmed what I have been doing and how I have been doing it;
apparently except for
communicating better to my critics
(and I guess to the forum as well)
