DG,
I get your logic, however this is result: Offensive coach who just had win taken away: "Blue why did you call my runner out!" UMP:"Well he never made the touch at first." Coach:"The first baseman was standing right on the base, isn't that obstruction?" UMP: "Naa he could or should have touched it somewhere, evan a little bit of the corner."
Prepare to eject. Now I will buy your argument that he abandoned. However if the BU calls the obstruction loud and clear and then kills the play after overthrow then the runner probably stays on 1B.
If we don't call obstruction on the play as described what is the result? Coach to his next hitter: "OK Johnny if he does'nt get out of your way, knock him down!" I thinks we've all heard that one.
