What's your call?

Looks like proper positioning of F2 to me, NO OBS!!!! By the way these kind of pic's are very helpful in discussing obstruction or interference, wish we had more of them!!!

How in the world can anyone tell that it looks like a force by looking at the runner going into third. No way to tell by the picture we are looking at. Dave

Also have a runner going into third. Catcher is set for a throw to 1B after play at plate.

Plate is WIDE open. No OBS.

SRW,

There must be a reason here. Was it called OBS? Did you witness this one? You gotta have more on this story!

I do! But there's got to be more responses than what's posted! I'll be waiting for another day before I post what happened...

Are you trying to get at that maybe F2's foot is not actually touching home plate, and is in front of it?
Or if F2's foot is on the plate, is that OBS because the runner has been impeded from touching that part of home plate? That does not appear to be the case, as the ball should arrive before the runner does, thus no OBS.

Just tell us what the deal is on this one. Looks pretty unanimous to me, and pretty clear based on only what we see in this picture. Unless something that I would not possibly guess from this picture has occurred befoer the picture was taken, I can't see OBS here either.

So ... spill it.

I think everyone is basing it on where and how F2 is setting up to receive the throw. To me, it looks like a force play as well.
