I guess that's what I was looking for. There has to be some balance. Every time a fielder is in the baseline or near the base without the ball is not OBS, but we can't ignore that the POSSIBILITY arises any time the fielder is in the baseline or near the base without the ball. In the same way, the base runner can't go out of their way to try to 'draw' the OBS call. The point is see the whole play, if possible, then make the judgement. Of course if you are working only one-man this is an even harder task, as your first focus is usually on the ball. That is why OBS on F3 is hard to call on hit to left field for one-man unless ump is able to get a good position to see whole field and still get good position on possible play at 2B. I've mostly only worked one-man and the more sitches I see on this board, the more I see how much that sucks. Carry on though, you do what you can do.
