Therein lies the problem with the way OBS is to be called by umpires. The rule itself is good but the mechanic has an issue. When an umpire calls OBS the runner is protected based on the judgement of the umpire. How in the heck is anyone supposed to know how far the umpire is protecting? Different umpires award different bases based on what they see. There has to be a way of letting coaches/runners know how far a runner is protected instead of guessing.
