Ohio High School State Title Game - OBS Call

[AtlUmpSteve]

Teebob:

Since the calling umpire judged home, it really isn't our place (IMO) to do much more than talk about the process. Especially where we cannot even see the obstruction, so even more difficult to judge if what she should be awarded. His call, his award.

To your question:

If you are willing to accept what the runner does/did AFTER the award (during a dead ball), why would you not accept what the runner did before the announced award (and during the same dead ball period)? To my way thinking, the runner did complete all baserunning responsibilities, whether before or after.
