BFAIR: "Baiting the obstruction"? I highly doubt, (from reading the post) that the BR had that in his mind. This kind of play, happens what, once every 20 yrs? And maybe not even that. And the batter is going to have the nads to think of running into the pitcher on purpose?? The BR is going back to the dugout, and everyone starts screaming go to first. So from where hes at, he turns and runs, having no clue if hes doing the right thing (running across the infield) or not.
Then you say, as ALL THIS is going on, hes going to think ,... "hey, Ill just plow into pitch, and pull me an obstruction". Possible? Ummm sure. About 1% chance out of a 100.
I know its a HTBT, but this type of play, Im confident we can go with the posters description as to what happenned.
To me, its a big ole cluster f*** of a play, and I salute the blue who called it this way, to one of those plays the rest of us will probably never see, let alone, rule on.
