OBS & overslide

[IRISHMAFIA]

Some are sounding like coaches out there.

Read the rule and move your thumb

"If the obstruced runner is put out after passing the base which would have been reached had there not been obstruction OR"

Yes, that reads "OR", not AND.

The runner passed the base. The rule does not require the OBS runn ro run "beyond" the base, just pass it.

And before someone wants to argue the definition of passing a base, look at it this way. If the runner which overslid a base after touching it got up and proceeded to the next base, would you require them to retouch the base where the overslide took place? Of course, you wouldn't. Or, at least, I hope you wouldn't

This is an out. Those trying to sell the "she made me slide" theory may believe they are doing the correct thing, but I don't believe there is much support in the rules to back it up.
