No, I understand that, Mike.

The point I was trying to make was that with all other obstruction situations involving runners, you kill play when the obstructed runner is put out before reaching the base he/she would have reached minus the obstruction. I thought the same thing applied to batters after catcher's obstruction when they don't reach first base. If it is supposed to be treated differently, then I stand corrected.
