Don't get me wrong, I have no problem scoring the runner if they were more than halfway home. That was always the rule of thumb interpretation in the past, but not just at home, but every base.
I just have a problem stretching rules because once you start, it can easily get out of control.

I'm confused. You're saying you don't think the rules permit us to award the runner the base she was nearer to when obstruction kills the play, but you want us to do it anyway?
