But I didn't see it !!!
How do you blues handle catchers obstruction?
Pitch comes, batter squares to bunt, catcher stands up. I hear ball/bat connection , then I hear another tick. I didn't see what the tick was, but I heard it. Would it have been okay to call catchers obstruction without seeing it ? For the record I no called it-but now I'm thinking I should have called it.

I sure hope he wouldn't kill it for me, he might signal delayed dead ball for me that would be handy.....but don't kill it on catcher's obstruction.

I wasn't thinking CO
I don't really believe this was CO. The PU was obstructed by the catcher. I'm thinking this is more like the ball hitting the bat again which the BU should kill. That's what I think the extra tick was.

What did the players actions tell you happened?

I'm thinking it was glove/ bat tick....Players actions didn't help. FWIW they were 12U.

I would say that if the bat hit the ball and then you heard another sound, then you probably wouldn't have obstruction. That's not to say that the glove couldn't still get in the way of the batter completing the hit, but if the ball is already moving forward, it's going to be quite hard to have obstruction if here another sound.
