HELP WITH A RULING

[akalsey]

What is your rule of thumb for the award, assuming the BU ruled obstruction, which he did. The original question was whether to award 2B or 3B.

Yes, that was the original question, but CB asked some questions that started a bit of a side conversation about whether obsctruction should have been called.

To answer the original question, in Type A obstruction, it's going to be hard for me to award an extra base. If a play is being made on the runner (obstruction or not), the runner isn't likely going to make an extra base.

If R1 is being played on at second, he isn't going to have a chance to head to third unless there's an error. So he gets second on the OBS.
