obs

[MD Longhorn]

Admitting that the angle sucks... I believe I have OBS because the runner slid way way too early - and that slide was her altering her path because the fielder was between her and the base without possession of the ball.

That said, if the slide was not early (in the umpire's judgement), this is not OBS until the 4th picture where she was CLEARLY impeded before the fielder had possession of the ball.

And THAT said ... all of the questions and the posting of the first 3 pictures alone clearly tell me the OP is looking at the wrong thing when judging obstruction.
