But there is a penalty...the runner would get the base he was obstructed from returning to and the defense looses the out. Sounds like a penalty to me.

I'll post it again for you: Quote:
The fact is, if you have a runner returning to a base (R1 on a pickoff obstructed by F3, for example) this obstructed runner gets 2B in every rule code. If you choose not to enforce the rules on this point, that's entirely up to you. Please be aware that you have no rules support for your position.

You're not the first to note (or be caught by) that seeming discrepancy. It gets talked about on the boards a couple of times a year. FED made some change to this rule a couple of years ago, and the wording they added made it confusing. They mean that if the runner acquires the base to which he was ADVANCING, and that's as far as he would go, that the obstrcution would be ignored. If he's obstructed while returning, then he gets the minimum one base award. |
