Not in my games. Now, maybe if F6 yells it, causes R2 to return just as the ball is hit, and R2 is out on a close play at third. But, who's going to see that?

The second time, I'll stop the game and record a warning with PU and the head coach. The third time, we'll need a sub.

If you are doing a FED game, it's obstruction - no questions asked (Rich Ives can correct me but I think in LL this holds also). If you are doing NCAA or OBR, you have no grounds to do anything because there is no verbal obstruction rule as in FED. If you give a warning or stop the game, the coach can protest and you will be ruled against.

Nope. You're not getting it. It can't be obstruction unless it hinders the runner. I'm addressing it before that can happen.

It hindered the runner. He returned to 2B. Unless you are a mindreader, you don't know if there would have been an attempt to steal or not. The offense was deprived of that opportunity due to an illegal act by the defense.

according to the rule (2-22-1), it wouldn't be obstruction unless the offensive player reacts to what F6 is yelling. if the runner doesn't pay any attention to him or react to it at all, i buy it as nothing.
if it causes him to react in any manner adverse to the offense, i don't see why he would need to be put out at third before it would become obstruction. |

I'm not talking about the OP. I was answering onetime's question.

Seems to entirely depend on the situation (this one pretty vague), and assuming FED, because otherwise nothing to rule on. I can envision an award of home would be appropriate in FED.

The problem with allowing this (in FED) is that it *does* give the defense an advantage. F6/F4 can *hold* the runner while maintaining a normal fielding position. I'd warn the first time, then enforce OBS.
