OBS Again (and again and again etc.)

[bkbjones]

Obstruction is easier to call than a pitch that may be a ball's width off the outside corner just above the knees.

It's either obstruction or it isn't.

Mike, it may be even easier than the infield fly. I hate those infield flies that are in the "Bermuda Triangle" between the circle, second and first -- especially when 1B and 2B are playing "deep."

When they removed the "about to receive," it took away all the guesswork. A defender either has possession or they don't. The runner either deviates or they don't. Make a decision. Make the call. Live with it. Move on.
