And yes.....my arm's up. I'm not CALLING anything until I have to, though.
"Calling" something doesn't require anything verbal. If you SIGNALLED obstruction, then you CALLED obstruction. If you're not "calling" anything, 99% of the readers here will take you to mean that you aren't RULING anything (which also means you aren't SIGNALLING anything).

Plus ... saying "unless I rule obstruction" is quite confusing right after the statment that you'll protect the runner. You DO rule (call! ) obstruction (and signal) on this play, just in case something else develops.
