Australia vs. USA

[IRISHMAFIA]

What an absolutely horrible call, or lack of one, at the plate.

Of course, the THs are just as stupid as to not understand the obstruction.

From ISF Rules:

Sec. 65. OBSTRUCTION.

Obstruction is the act of:
a. A defensive player or team member that hinders or prevents a batter from striking or hitting a pitched ball.

b. A fielder who impedes the progress of a runner or batter-runner who is legally running bases while:

1. not in possession of the ball, or
2. not in the act of fielding a batted ball, or

3. Making a fake tag without the ball, or
4. In possession of the ball and who pushes a runner off a base, or
5. In possession of the ball, but not in the act of making a play on the runner which intentionally impedes

the progress of that runner, while he is legally running the bases.
