In FED a strong case could be made that the "He's going, cut it, back," and other comments could be called verbal obstruction if you feel the comments directly altered the course of the play.

True, my mistake. Kyle, no I would not award the batter 1B on INT. Off the top of my head I couldn't recall if it was INT or OBS attached to the "verbal," so I put both. My apologies for the confusion.
Tim - Pete stated that the only difference was the mercy rule. I'd be willing to bet they allowed starters to re-enter the game after a substitution. That is not an OBR rule. There are probably others that he failed to mention. As was stated early in the thread - "No malicious contact rule" - not normal below AA ball. I admit I may have gotten my rules intertwined, but I would wager that there are other modifications to the rules by which they were playing. Possibly even the addition of verbal obstruction.
