I didn't say anything about effort or lack of it, just being too brief as usual. I assumed she reached for it, maybe even jumped. The point was that even with whatever effort was applied, the ball never "touched" her, but she was "about to receive" if she could. OK, I guess inability to catch the throw means not about to receive, so I stand corrected.

As described by buddy and pepe, it sounds like obstruction because the runner was impeded before the catcher could have received the ball ("before catcher receives the ball ... snip ... blocks runner from reaching home plate"; "runner ended two inches short of home plate impeded by contact with the catcher's legs. ... snip ... Upon catching the ball the catcher brought her glove down to tag our runner who was stationary by this time").

Again, my original comment was just trying to point out a possible inconsistency in wording by IM.
