So "everyone" says that the catcher didn't have the ball AND that causing the runner to alter his approach is obstruction.

Obstruction is illegal.

Then it gets suggested that the catcher did nothing illegal.

REALLY?

The catcher was flat out not positioned properly. He shares any blame for both the illegal act and the stupid positioning. You cannot stand on the tracks and blame only the train.

Off to Syracuse to listen to a university band concert with my son participating. Have a nice day.
