Double Obstruction

[mcrowder]

I was trying to only give the information that I knew about at the time, so as to not skew the answers...

But, after reviewing with my partner, my judgement of a triple on the 1st OBS was probably the right call AT THE TIME, as RF turned out to have taken a really bad angle, letting it get by. I didn't see this - as it occurred right about the time I was turning to watch the play at 2nd. I had the ball in my peripheral view, but didn't notice the bad angle by the fielder.

My problem with awarding home, BY THE BOOK, is that on the 1st OBS alone, 3rd base was probably the right call, and by the 2nd OBS alone (the position of the ball at that time, and ignoring the initial OBS), 3rd was probably STILL the right call, but in combining the two, it's logical to assume that she would have scored.

By the way, I'm right there with you on the discomfort with the "judge now and don't revise" theory. I can see the reasoning behind it, but don't feel that it should apply in ALL cases --- but that's my opinion, and I call it by what we're told.
