Odd reaction to an OBS call

That's the intent ...... in BASEBALL.

They verbalize as loud as they can balks, obstructions, and any other delayed calls, so that play will stop, and their awards are simplified.

Hopefully, that phrase in the POE that "obstruction will be declared" will be addressed by the new regime. It seems to me that anything that is intended to be verbalized should be in quotations, ie, "dead ball", or "illegal", and that would make the intent clear.
