Blocking a base.

How did your "situational play" get tied in with this:

"*Exception 1: As noted in J/R, he may block the base if his block is a fluid, continuous result of his effort to glove the ball. And reaching away from one's body and blocking the base with the body are seperate, discontinusous acts to block the base, and therefore obstruction."

*Exception 1 deals with "at the base"; whereas, your situational play was "in the base path"...???

Sorry about that.
I must have a loose connection in my circuitry.

What I was thinking about was when I said "except in cases of intentional obstruction."

So we answered the question of "When can you have the ball and still be called for obstruction?"

So, part 3 is clear.

Any questions on part 1? That one seems pretty clear.

I'm suprised if there isn't some feedback on part 2 and the exception.

Does anyone have something that they think should be added to the list?
