FED Obstruction

[cookie]

"MadCity asks:

"PB (Pete Booth),
If your runner tries for third and is thrown out by an eyelash, will you still call him out?'"

In my view, if the BR is obstructed as he rounded first and his run is continuous all the way to third, AND then he is out on a very close play at third, I would think that the OBS back at first prevented BR from achieving his triple safely. In my judgement, if the BR would have made it, I would nullify the out (probably not have called it) and call BR safe at third due OBS.

Anyone else think along these lines on Pete's play?
