I agree with Bob however be very carefull in the application of this.
Eg: R3 trying to steal on a squeaze to HP. Sometimes the catcher will cheat so bad that the batter doesn't get a chance to execute a swing or bunt. Most of the time it is obvious but if you get a sharp coach that has a better view then you of exactly where that catcher is receiving the pitch, you coud end up with a discussion.
Remember, if called obstruction that team could end up with runners at first and second instead of just second. Or runners at first and second instead of nobody on, as a result of the throw out at second. So it is a fine line. Be carful.
