Not another obstruction thread

[DaveASA/FED]

BK,
I believe that the OBS was focused on the R1 as he/she rounded 2nd and collided with F6, the lead runner with the BU having the BR would become the PU's call, the BU was sticking with the BR who was now moving from 1st to 2nd after the overthrow at 1. So the BU would probably not see very well an OBS call past 2nd if they were focused on the play at 1st base and then transitioning into the infield for a possible play at 2nd. I think this is the point from the OP that there could have been an award of 3rd to the BR based on the OBS of R1....but who picks that up? Both are trying to watch it all, but PU is focused on R1 and BU is focused on BR (R2).

Like others have said it is a HTBT play, but if you have R1 at 3rd and R2(BR) at 2nd and they still haven't got the ball back in I think you could sell the fact that the OBS effected R2's position and award 3rd when you award R1 home, but again that is a HTBT to see the situation.
