Fielders set up in base path

Thanks for the answers. It confirms what I thought. Problem is that we are a small town with a severe lack of quality umps. Most are inexperienced teenagers who are so focused on getting the base calls right that OBS and other "exotic" calls are seldom made. They try hard, but we don't have anything really resembling a training or mentoring program. It can make things interesting, though!

You should point it out to their UIC that obstruction should be called on that team a lot. He will point it out to the umpires and explain the rule/penalty. That might help some of the calls.
