Had there been no obstruction, the ball would never have entered DBT. I think that permits me to disregard the 2-base award.
I'm off to the doc, back later. This is a good one.

Backward logic again, dash. The guideline of "what would have happened" applies only to the question of where to put the runners. Since the base award in the OP is NOT for obstruction, but for sending the ball into DBT, this guideline is moot.
Why are you so eager to protect the defense from their own violations? Haven't they committed 2 in the OP?
