Obstruction or Out of Baseline?

Play from the SD/SF game last night.

Agree with call?

I'm not an ump but I'd say it was the right call.

I have obstruction on the play. The runner was already on the grass so none of that means anything.

Textbook OBS. Despite the protestations of the SD common-tators, being "two steps on the infield grass" has nuttin' to do with nuttin'.

Of course, if F2 catches the pitch in the first place, we ain't in this mess.

R2 was clearly within "his" baseline during all tag attempts.

R2 was clearly hindered and he was clearly not intentionally running into a fielder (without the ball) trying to draw the OBS.

Clearly OBS. Nice call.

That baseline changed every time the ball was exchanged.

Clearly obstruction, I agree.

This is obstruction, only. The 'out of baseline' only applies when a tag is being attempted on a runner.

Obstruction. Textbook.
